Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The BBC gives over a whole evening to an 'investigation into the supernatural'. Four respected presenters and a camera crew attempt to discover the truth behind 'The most haunted house in Britain', expecting a light-hearted scare or two and probably the uncovering of a hoax. They think they are in control of the situation. They think they are safe. The viewers settle down and decide to watch 'for a laugh'. Ninety minutes later the BBC, and the country, was changed, and the consequences are still felt today. Written by Gary Thompson |

| Trivia | It earned the dubious honour of being the first TV programme to be cited in the British Medical Journal as having caused Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in children. See more » |
| Goofs | Because the studio presenters were reacting to footage recorded weeks before, there are many instances where Sarah Greene will answer questions not asked to her yet or studio presenters will have to re-ask questions to fill gaps before someone will answer. See more » |

Michael Parkinson: The studio's... completely dark. Just... just blackness. All the lights have failed. The... the power's gone off. [phosphorescent glow rises] Michael Parkinson: We've... got some lights in the studio. I don't know... there's cameras, but I don't know which one's working... I mean... there are no... No camermen! I mean... it's difficult to know even if anybody's still... still with us, but if they are, this is the scene in this studio... this totally deserted studio. [cats start to shriek in background] Michael Parkinson: Autocue's still working...!..."Round and round the garden... like a teddy bear?" [stiffens] Ghost: [speaking through Parkinson] Didn't believe that story about Mother Seddons, did you? Fee... fie... foe... fum. [cats shriek as camera dies] See more » |
