Christopher Lee telling MR James' Ghost Stories for Christmas is one of my favourite TV things ever. And you can probably leave the 'TV' out of that sentence too.
A few ghostly repeats coming up on BBC Four.
On Monday 16 December, repeats of The Mezzotint and Lot No 249
And on Weds 18 December, Ghost Stories for Christmas with Christopher Lee (The Stalls of Barchester, Number 13 and A Warning to the Curious)
