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 |

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 » |
