- Mindbending: great miniseries of short stories great acting great producer Lola fani-kayode

Wow, niice, i loved checkmate too, i will never forget that scene where this guy smokes a cigarrette and throws it into this waste basket and then a fire creeps up, can't remember the plot ( i was very young then), and i remember behind the clouds, i remember it for it's haunting theme song (just like super story  ) I remember this show on NTA, called lynx, where this guy kills his wife and she comes on to haunt him and the rest, but i think the one show from the past that would remain evergreen in my memeory is Hot Cash: Willi-Willi, actually a NTA Port Harcourt production. They don't show it anymore though! anyone know Willi-Willi? that adam apple eating, eerie white robe wearing, disappearing act perfectionist, identity stealing, son of a . . .  |

interesting topic.
who ever remembers one soap called "winds against my soul" by laolu ogunniyi.it was aired in the early eighties.that was where i first saw sam loco efe and taiwo ajayi lycett.
one scary movie which was produced and shown on ltv 8 "evil encounter".i think when the LTV 8 premises got burnt in the eighties,they lost a lot of material.
