Moon and Son

1992 · 1 season

A gentle, slightly spooky mystery-of-the-week with a mother-and-son double act, coasting on charm and mild supernatural intrigue rather than thrills.

Overview: Astrologer Gladys Moon and her psychic son, Trevor, travel between Folkestone and Calais, conducting readings, selling occult wares and getting involved in various crimes and mysteries. Despite reports that the BBC had already commissioned a second series prior to the first series' broadcast, only thirteen episodes were produced and it was swiftly axed due to poor ratings, despite a primetime Saturday evening timeslot.
How it feels: Eerie, light, whimsical and tense. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Mystery, family, deception, fate
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
