...What's your point?

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.

Just in case you weren't already aware, it's worth mentioning that also available to view elsewhere on Youtube is the edition of Biteback where producers, Ruth Baumgarten and Richard Broke discuss the show at length with an audience of eager 'fans'...

Merry Xmas 2009, Ghostwatchers, and once again, thank-you for the support!

"I loved... GHOSTWATCH."

Nice to hear Mark Kermode's quick mention of Ghostwatch at the end of his latest 'Road Movies' video blog...

...Surely, this is what he meant to say. ;)



Merry Xmas, Ghostwatchers, and a happy new year.

Here's someone with a tale to tell...

Greetings, Ghostwatchers!

Coming soon from writer/actor/magician (and not to mention, huge Ghostwatch fan), Andy Nyman, and precisely one fourth of The League of Gentlemen, Jeremy Dyson, is their new play, Ghost Stories.

Written and directed by both Andy and Jeremy for the Lyric Hammersmith, Ghost Stories will run from 24th Feb – 3rd April 2010, and promises to "shake you up like no piece of theatre ever has before".

More info can be found by clicking here... if you dare.


Many thanks to Behind the Curtains supporter, Lisa for sending us the link! Read more!

We'll actually spool it back to the point where you tell us...

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!
