Interview With A Seven Year Old
Thriller Fan
Recently one reader sent me this Q&A with his
son, Sam Billington, who is a Thriller fan (and obviously a child with
superior tastes!) I thought it interesting as it shows the timeless appeal
of the programme.
My Views on Thriller
by Sam Billington, aged 7.
Q. Hi Sam! How would you describe Thriller?
A. It's a sort of horror movie,
but with not much violence, so it's ok for children I think.
Q. When do you think Thriller was made?
A. Er, the 1980s??
Q. Do you think it looks old-fashioned?
A. No... but other people might
have other ideas!
Q. What do you think of the music?
A. I think it's sometimes better
than what's actually on the screen... just sometimes!
Q. What's the first Thriller story you can
ever remember watching?
A. I think it was 'Nurse will
Make it Better'. This had Diana Dors in, who I've seen in other things, and
Patrick Troughton, who was Dr Who!
Q. What's your favourite story at the moment?
A. That's called 'I'm the Girl He
Wants to Kill'.
Q. What did you like about that episode?
A. Well, it had a good plot, it
was scary, basically it had all the things Thriller needs to make it
good.
Q. When did you start to think the story was
scary then?
A. When the guard got killed,
because then I knew that the lady was locked in the building with only the
murderer!!
Q. Why does he want to kill her then?
A. Er, because he's MAD!
Q. What did you think of the ending?
A. The ending was scary, and
COOL!
Q. And lastly, does it ever give you nightmares?
A. NO!!
Thanks Sam, very good answers!
Keep watching.
