Ghostwatch (Limited Edition) [Blu-ray]

Product Information

I don't have the limited edition...I wish I did! But I have the normal Blu Ray with the latest documentary (which is excellent). The doc features most of the cast and crew reflections (except for Mike Smith of course who passed relatively young age) but the only regret is Parky is not included which is real shame because he was the star, and despite having no acting experience, he was brilliant because, he simply played himself as if he is doing an actual Ghostwatch show. But playing yourself, is not an easy thing to do! The director cleverly, gave Parky room and flexibility to do his thing with just basic guidelines. And boy, did he deliver, giving a performance of skepticism and good ol' Parky mannerisms that we all grew up with. He was brilliant. So was Sarah Greene, who gave, imho, the most outstanding performance out of all of them, including the experienced actors, but turns out she actually did drama school when she was younger so that explains her excellence. For many this Halloween TV special from 1992 has remained ingrained in their memory. Was it real or pure fiction many asked at the time? What if Raymond Tunstall really did get into the machine – all our machines? Because he’s here now. On my screen, at home with me, where only I seem to see him.

PMID 8142802.Michael Parkinson, an actual BBC newsman, is the host of the show and he interacts with some call-ins and the aforementioned paranormal researcher who explains the details behind the haunting. The reporters sent on the scene are Craig Charles, who interviews some of the people in the neighborhood, and Sarah Greene, who goes inside the house with the family and experiences the activity first hand. Ghostwatch. What could be considered the best practical joke the BBC ever made on the Great British public. And, much like all ambitious practical jokes, faced unconsidered consequences. A live report on Halloween from what we were told was a haunted semi-detached home, with some of the nation’s most respected faces. There’s children’s TV’s Sarah Greene, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed; her husband, Mike Green manning the phones; Red Dwarf funny man Craig Charles taking a side-eyed cheeky glance at the whole spectacle as roving reporter; and national treasure Michael Parkinson – Parky! – the grandfather of the talk show. Surely he’d be there to hold our collective hand if things get spooky? Right, Michael? Right? At first, the broadcast seems harmless, but supernatural phenomena occur in the house, until Suzanne is exposed making noises, convincing Parkinson that the whole affair is a hoax. Suzanne then speaks with a demonic voice and develops scratches across her arms. The public share their ghost stories, but numerous callers mention they have seen Pipes lurking in the house, and that paranormal incidents are happening in their own homes.
