About this listen

 On Halloween night 1992 Michael Parkinson hosted a show called Ghostwatch, which styled itself as a live broadcast and claimed to be a genuine investigation into the paranormal. It was of course a scripted, pre-recorded drama but many of the 11 millions viewers that tuned in to watch were left confused and genuinely scared by what they had just seen. I'm joined by Thom Peart to discuss its lasting impact and unique place in the history of broadcast television in the UK.
