Mick, you lucky dog! I've wanted to see this for years. It's supposed to be excellent. Let us know what you think. | ||

Huw, I saw it on its first (and possibly only) showing all those years ago. I recall little about it apart from the fact that I preferred the M R James stories at the time. The DVD looks like it's a third generation VHS copy:-   | ||

I would love to see it, but not at this youtube-like quality. | ||

The second 'c' shouldn't be there (it's not the way Le Fanu had it, at any rate). Mick, I have a few of these old TV programmes and they are all of the same general low quality - better than nothing, though! I hope it gets an official release before too long. For that matter, I wonder why the BBC hasn't released all the Ghost Story for Christmas adaptations? I'd imagine quite a few people would buy them. | ||

Low quality? That'a the kind of reception I get on telly every day where I live. So much for the 21st Century...  | ||

Never heard of it. I do remember PAINTING WITH NANCY on lunchtimes during weekdays when I should've been at school but wasn't. |
