Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"The Signal-Man" was one of Charles Dickens' later stories, premiering in 1866. This production appears to have moved the setting up to around 1900, judging by the costumes and technology.
- GoofsIn one shot, on a beam holding up the shelf on which is the signalling equipment, there are three detonators (a form of explosive warning for railway drivers used in fog) painted yellow. They were not painted yellow until the 1960s.

Featured review
Worthy adaptation
One of the best in the Ghost Stories for Christmas adaptations (that should be revived!). Its best to watch this more than once as some of its subtlety can otherwise be missed. I wouldnt say it was the most terrifying thing Ive ever seen but it has its moments (didnt i close that door?) and there is a great sense of unease and dread from the outset.
