Greetings, Ghostwatchers!
Anyone familiar with the show's
Wikipedia page will surely be aware of this quote:
"...Sarah Greene had advertised the programme on her Saturday morning children's show Going Live. This had included a 'visit' to the location of the 'haunting' and gave the impression that she was taking part in a 'reality show' and not a drama."Recently, we were fortunate enough to check out three full editions of
Going Live! to verify this longstanding claim - dated,
24.10.92 (the week before transmission),
31.10.92 (the day the show went out) and
7.11.92 (the week after), but alas, no mention of
Ghostwatch could be found.
Unless anyone has any additional episodes of
Going Live! available for viewing (if so, by all means, drop us a line!), it appears as though yet another
Ghostwatch-inspired urban myth has once again, potentially bit the dust (just wait 'til you hear what we've discovered about
Blair Witch...).
But even though, this time, we didn't find what we were looking for, I must say just how great it was to catch
Going Live! again for the first time in absolute years.
Trevor and Simon's skits, in particular, remain a constant joy (so much so, that we're now actively looking to secure a sponsorship deal with
Pot Fish - "
Britain's No.1 Instant Fish Snack in a Pot").
There is some good news to report, however, as we were also able to secure the full
Points of View, and
Biteback editions where
Ghostwatch IS discussed.
Incidentally, we are still on the lookout for the fabled TEASER TRAILER and PRE/POST CONTINUITY ANNOUCNEMENTS for
Ghostwatch, so if anyone remembers when they went out/has a copy, do let us know..!
Read more!
At long last, here's the short Ghostwatch segment from the BBC opinions show, Points of View, originally broadcast, 4/11/92, and presented by Anne Robinson.
