Fantastic atmosphere (as always with the BBC adapts of MR James). This one wasn't as 'fine tuned' as some of the others, but still is a creepy watch well worth your time

This one starts out much more fun than the other ghost stories - it's a cool little adventure - and then it gets quite dark. A hell of a mystery.
