I loved most of the BBC Ghost stories for xmas. My favourite was always The Treasure of Abbott Thomas, The Signalman is a close 2nd (Denholm Elliott was fantastic in it).

They are all TV classics and all available to watch on You tube. The 2 modern ones (2005&2006??) are also decent and definitely worth a watch!

Oh yes! That is a boxset I would definitely own. Agreed on the John Hurt version, though it wasn't as poor as the previous years awful adaptation of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. Of the modern retellings, I reckon A View From A Hill was very effective, and genuinely creepy at times.

Oh, i was getting confused. I was thinking it was the Ghost story for Christmas series read by Christopher Lee that was on the BBC about 5 years ago.

I have it on a recorded vhs but no vhs player that currently works.

It was fantastic, sitting there with no lights bar the Christmas tree, a single malt in hand, watching the great man read James's wonderful stories.

Wow just noticed it was 11 years ago, time really does fly.
