Tales Of The Unexpected is a British television series that originally aired between 1979 and 1988, made by Anglia Television for ITV.

The series was an anthology of different tales, initially based on short stories by author Roald Dahl, that were sometimes sinister, sometimes wryly comedic and usually had a twist ending. The light, slightly mocking theme tune to the series which became a hallmark of the show was written by the prolific film and television composer Ron Grainer.
