Starting tonight BBC4 (10:30pm) are showing a three part ghost story called 'the Crooked house'
BBC Four promises a ghostly Christmas this year with Crooked House, a haunting tale of three spine-chilling ghost stories, woven together for a spooky festive treat, written by and starring Mark Gatiss. Crooked House, which is shot in HD, features a wonderfully diverse cast, including Julian Rhind-Tutt, Philip Jackson, Lee Ingleby, Jean Marsh, Samuel Barnett, Daniela Denby-Ashe, Anna Madeley and, in his debut dramatic role, illusionist Derren Brown.
"Crooked House began life as a single, 30-minute ghost story. However, BBC Four were keen to turn it into more of an "event", so I chanced my arm and pitched three! This not only gave me the chance to write some ghost stories for Christmas – a lifelong ambition – but, by joining the three together in a 90-minute version, to pay tribute to the portmanteau-style horror films which I adore."
