It’s Christmas Eve, which can mean only one thing: ghost stories. The following is Christopher Lee reading M.R. James, from a fantastic little series of shorts that came out around 2000/2001, and have never been collected on DVD, a far more insidious assault on the Christmas spirit than the banning of Christmas carols or nativity plays, IMHO.
I can also heartily recommend Mark Gatiss’ Crooked House, the last of which is on tonight, although the first two episodes are available on iPlayer.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Let’s hope it’s a good one.
