DRACULA MADE ME PLOP MY PANTS!

Fuming Geoff to sue BBC over new vampire show

-

THE BBC’s new adaptation of the classic Dracula story has chilled blood across Britain.

But few viewers were quite as terrified as vampire fan Geoff Perkins who was so scared he SHAT his PANTS at the antics of the Transylvan­ian bloodsucke­r.

Geoff, 54, from Leek, Staffs, told Sunday Sport: “While there was a warning at the start of the show there was absolutely no mention that this programme would make me soil my best underpants.

“I want compensati­on to replace my ruined undies, and to cover the cost of steam- cleaning my settee.

“If compo is not forthcomin­g I will have no alternativ­e than to go to the law.”

Like millions of others on New Year’s Day, singleton Geoff tuned in to watch the start of the new series

HORROR: Scene from epic new beeb drama

TERRIFIED: Horror fan Geoff ( and ( Claes Bang as Count Dracula of Dracula, starring Claes Bang as Count Dracula.

Geoff added: “I’ve watched every Dracula film and had high hopes of this one – and I wasn’t disappoint­ed.

“I can remember the bit where Dracula was having a go at some nuns and the next thing I know it’s the morning and I’m lying on the settee in my own filth.

“It must have been so scary that I passed out and shat myself.”

He added: “Yes, I’d had a few ciders but it wasn’t the booze that made me do it.”

Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat’s blood- soaked adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic was so scary some viewers took to social media and wondered whether they would be able to sleep after it ended.

In the disturbing episode, a decrepit Jonathan Harker ( John Heffernan) is questioned by Sister Agatha ( Dolly Wells), as she tries to get to the bottom of what happened to the lawyer during his stay with Count Dracula.

Full to the brim with horror scenes, Harker was tormented during his stay at the castle and in one scene he is chased by zombies.

And viewers’ blood ran cold during an epic finale, when Dracula burst out of a wolf as he transforme­d from beast to man when attacking the convent where Harker was being kept.
