Description by OLDIES.com:

The BBC gives over a whole evening to an 'investigation into the supernatural'. Four respected presenters and a camera crew attempt to discover the truth behind 'The most haunted house in Britain', expecting a light-hearted scare or two and probably the uncovering of a hoax. They think they are in control of the situation. They think they are safe. The viewers settle down and decide to watch 'for a laugh'. Ninety minutes later the BBC, and the country, was changed, and the consequences are still felt today.

  • 30th Anniversary feature-length documentary
  • Audio Commentary with film historians Dr. Shellie McMurdo (University of Hertfordshire/University of Roehampton) and Dr. Stella Gaynor (University of Salford)
  • 'Shooting Reality' featurette by Lesley Manning
  • Archival commentary with writer Stephen Volk, producer Ruth Baumgarten and director Lesley Manning
  • The film was met with a positive response from both fans and critics alike. Notably, leading film and TV magazines SFX and Starburst awarded 4/5 and 8/10 ratings respectively.
  • During and following its first and only UK broadcast, the show attracted a considerable furor, resulting in an estimated 1,000,000 phone call enquiries to the BBC switchboard on the night of the broadcast, comprising a mixture of complaints & praise.
  • First Time Ever on Blu-ray!
  • From Writer Stephen Volk (The Guardian (1990), The Awakening (2011))
  • Ghostwatch is a now cult classic British reality-horror/pseudo-documentary film, first broadcast on BBC1 on Halloween night, 1992.
  • Ghostwatch was subsequently selected for inclusion in the BFI Mediatheque, for the upcoming Haunted collection, from December 2013-onwards.
  • Stars Michael Parkinson (Love, Actually), Sarah Greene (The Man Who Knew Too Little), and Craig Charles (Red Dwarf)
