This is a well-crafted piece of material form the BBC. I only got around to watching it ten years after its actual date of broadcast as my mate found it on video. But BBC like to pretend that they didn't make this program and for a couple of weeks denied any knowledge that they actually played it but when they came to their semi senses they decided that they would never play or release this program again. If you can get hold of this anywhere then do as even though this was staged it was staged well by those that are not normally actors but presenters.

Although the acting of the owners of the haunted house is pretty lame (hmm..I wonder where they are today...I'm guessing hang around bus shelters begging for money), also when apparently a séance has been introduced into the studio and wind begins to blow this is when any sense of realism is really blown away. I imagine for those that watched this at the time could have been fooled up to this point, as this was indeed weak. But anyway some of the techniques used and the hidden man next to the curtains all make up for strong Blair witch contenders. By the way Sarah Green hasn't been used much since this program, what have the BBC done with this woman, if you have seen her then call the following number and report the incident: 999, thank you I'm sure Phillip Schofield would be grateful and Gordon.
