The other reviewer was talking about the 1960s sitcom "Bewitched" starring Elizabeth Montgomery. This 1983 (or 1985) production is an episode in the UK series "Shades of Darkness", as the cast list reveals. It would be a lot more helpful if people actually checked first which version of a title they are commenting on! This was a ghost story fairly unsuitable for small children and contained little or NO humour!
I recall seeing this a year or two ago and was struck by the slow pace and gloomy atmosphere, though there was a hauntingly bleak seaside atmosphere and a Victorian setting.
Gareth Thomas as always gives a good beleaguered performance, and the plot revolved around someone whose wife-to-be had been killed early, I think. As usual with "19th century" ghost stories, evil and vengeful spirits were involved. However, the whole thing was directed in a fairly flat and uninvolving manner, not helped by the pace.
Perhaps nose-twitching Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick Yorke would have pepped it up!
