Desperate to find out what the film or programme was that featured a story about an american in a classic car gets petrol from old garage where the owner throws hiom the key to pump. He is on way to a party in a country house that burns down, he rescues the hostess then he wakes up in hospital only to find the house burnt down years ago...but he still has the key to the petrol station that closed years before ...was it an episode of thriller or Tales of the Unexpected ...can anyone help?
I'd totally forgotten about Tales of the Unexpected. I used to love watching this when I was a kid.
