Inside No. 9

It's Christmas Eve, and history professor Dr Parkway has booked himself an overnight stay in a reputedly haunted church. Odd, given he's keen to be away from his other guests, and odder still when you wonder why. What follows is a proper twisted ghost story for Christmas from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, who are never happier than when they're being wicked at your expense. It's clever, creepy and funny in equal measure, and perfect for those who like their festive telly with a chill down the spine. One for grown-ups once the little ones are tucked up in bed, ideally with the big lamp on.
