Urban Gothic is a British anthology horror series shown on Channel 5, running for two seasons between May 2000 and December 2001. Filmed on a low budget and broadcast in a later time-slot, it nonetheless acquired a following. It has also since been repeated on the Horror Channel.
Set around London there is an underlying story thread that only becomes clear in the last episodes of each series. Each episode was different in style from the others, running the gamut of documentary-style independent film to spoof, to slick dramas similar in style to The Outer Limits or The Twilight Zone.
Cast of the series include Jemima Rooper, Ingrid Pitt, Crispin Bonham-Carter, Robert Webb, Nina Sosanya, Lee Williams, Anita Dobson, Charlie Condou, Leslie Grantham, Sean Maguire, Richard O'Brien, Alicya Eyo, Liz May Brice, Clare Buckfield, Andrew Lancel, Rupert Hill, Alison King and Sarah Smart.
