Finally got hold of the DVD today, and I am pleased to say that the shivers were still sent up and down my spine, as they first did more than 10 years ago. After seeing it (in the daytime!), I jumped at every single noise in the building where I live, and found myself shaking. The programme seems to be so much stronger than the sum of its (not inconsiderable) parts, and is so subtly written and directed that any dated aspects (chunky technology, and Parky looking less wrinkly than he does these days) or weak performances (the elder daughter is much less convincing than the younger daughter) pale in comparison with an immensely rich, disturbing, powerful piece of television. An event. As the commentary suggests, there is so much about families, the supernatural and the public's relationship with TV - even if the producer uses the word "genre" too much - but nothing will prepare you for the visceral scares that will leave your heart pounding. Was that Pipes, there? No. Yes? And the subtleties visible on this DVD! When Sarah Greene investigates the damp patch in the living room, the clock beind her has already stopped at the same time - 9pm - as the cameraman's watch had. And take a GOOD look at the spectators standing behind Craig Charles as he leaves the playground... For anyone who wants to experience just what television can do to your nerves... Just buy this programme!
