Thank you for this series. I thought I was the only person who watched it as no-one I've asked had ever heard of it. I remembered the tune from the muic box exactly. What a trip down memory lane (I was 8) :) X

Thanks for posting this. I can remember this from 32 years ago when it was first aired. I was only 4 years old then but I can still remember bits & pieces. It's good to see again.

Thanks for posting. I remember this quite well.

Living in the HTV area at the time it was very local for me.

Richard Wyatt was the local hard man on HTV News.

Thanks for posting this - I remember it vividly from 30 years ago; especially Peter Sallis as a ghost-hunter. Interestingly, the story about the soldier is actually true - the Officer in charge of suppressing the Bristol riots in 831 was called Thomas Brereton, and he was court-martialled for leniency after refusing to fire on the crowds. He committed suicide during the trial; and I believe he is buried in London.

Great fun & memories bought back by this - thanks for posting. (Note though that despite nearly every internet synopsis saying a 17th century soldier he was actually a 19th century soldier!)

Thank you for uploading this series. Despite only being 4 when it aired I have a strng recollection of the soldier in the bed, the ghost of the old lady and the dark room behind the wall! Great to see it all again after 30 years!
