    A Ghost Story for Christmas...

    Part of the BBC's 'Ghost Story for Christmas' range produced during the 1970's. Words cannot describe how wonderful this is. The best bet for first time viewers is to take the following into account: It's made for TV, it was produced in the 1970's on a low budget, it's based on a Charles Dicken's short story. Still reading? It values atmosphere, quality acting and story telling over special effects and cheep scares (no cats jumping out of closets in this one). You may enjoy this if you liked 'The Others'. You will enjoy this if you liked 'The Woman in Black'.

    The Signalman

    Very slow & dated, could be up-dated.
