CHRISTMAS EVE IS HERE, at last! And maybe for some of you, the shopping, the cooking, the preparation is now over. I DO hope so! If not, put this little post in your bookmark, for later. Preferably a time, when it's quiet. Switch off the lights, settle in and prepare yourself, for that OTHER great Christmas tradition . .. The Christmas Ghost Story. I've especially picked this one from the BBC television series, that Christopher Lee appeared in 2000. The episode I've selected is in my humble opinion, the best of the series, also forgive my indulgence, it's my favorite Ghost Story. Maybe because I first hear it, in another BBC televised drama of the story, starring ROBERT HARDY, way back in 1971, when I was but a terrified little chap, hiding behind my grandmother's sofa! Christopher Lee really does a fabulous reading, that I am sure you'll enjoy. You'll probably need to get that mulled wine on the boil, as this is a real Christmas Chiller! Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

Very Sad News, that the actor Robert Hardy has died at Denville Hall, a
retirement home for actors in the outskirts of London. Hardy was 91. An
institution on UK TV for his performance as Siegfried in the long
running drama series 'All Creatures Great and Small', various drama
serials on the life of Sir Winston Churchill . .. he appeared in the
huge 'Spread of the Eagle' historical drama with Peter Cushing for the
BBC in 1963. He made 'Demons of The Mind' (1972) for Hammer Films
with Shane Briant. His appearance in Granada tv's Sherlock Holmes episode, The Master Blackmailer, with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke, was a triumph! He recently appeared as Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter franchise , and who could ever forget his appearnace in the M R James, Christmas BBC Ghost Story?? But it was with Christopher Lee that he had a long
friendship along with Patrick MacNee. He appeared with Lee in 'Dark
Places' and the very good though sadly neglected 'A Feast at
Midnight'....A long life and very full career, still sad to see him
leave us though. . .
