WIPED NEWS has added an audio recording of Ace of Wands story Nightmare Gas to its YouTube channel.
Like all of seasons one and two of the fantasy-based Thames Television children’ show, Nightmare Gas is missing from the ITV archives.
Thankfully, off-air domestic audio recordings of all three episodes exist, though the quality leaves a lot to be desired. The uploaded episode has been restored by Wiped News as much as possible.
“Nightmare Gas”, Episode 1/3 (tx 01/09/11): Tarot (Michael Mackenzie) meets a new adversary – the beautiful but deadly Thalia (Isobel Black). With her monosyllabic brother Dalbiac (Jonathan Newth) she steals a top-secret weapon – the deadly hallucinatory gas H23, a gas which produces not just a deep sleep and nightmares but kills the person 23 minutes later.
Next week, episode 2 of “Nightmare Gas” will be uploaded.

If somebody could get me a more uncompressed version, I could restore this? anyone?
I am so happy that this has come to light , Ace of Wands and Doomwatch are so under rated , thank you for this – here’s wishing for more to be found !
Any more news of the upload to EP 2 or 3 of this much wanted story??
I will upload the remaining episodes in the next few weeks. When I do, I’ll let everyone know though Wiped.
Best,
