They knew how to make ghost stories for a younger audience in the 1970s. You can almost picture this drama airing at teatime on a Sunday evening. Just pass me the tinned ham sandwiches!
Set over six episodes, it tells the story of a musician and his family who move into a new house and get more than they bargained for when all manner of ghosts start appearing.
Admittedly studio-bound with dodgy special effects and acting that at times can seem a little off, none of that seemed to matter, as it is totally watchable; Peter Sallis is very entertaining as the Ghost Hunter. Sallis had such a wonderfully varied career.
Some interesting pointers about the Bristol riots of 1831 made me Google the events and find out a bit more.
It is dated, but I'd suggest it is still worth seeing, as of now it's popped up on YouTube.
8/10.
