The fifth and final volume of Ghost Stories films from the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas series will be released by the BFI on 29 October. A View From a Hill starring Mark Letheren and Number 13 with Greg Wise are relatively recent adaptions of classic MR James stories and perfectly compliment the vintage films on the previous volumes. They were broadcast as part of a BBC revival of the much loved seasonal series during the last five years.
On the same date, Ghost Stories for Christmas: The Definitive Collection finally brings all twelve episodes together, along with a number of essential extra features, in a lavish 5-disc BFI box set which will, of course, make the perfect Christmas present.
