The dead Room

10.00pm BBC Four

Mark Gatiss wants to put the chill back in Christmas ghost stories with this one-off drama, starring Simon Callow.

He plays veteran horror radio host Aubrey Judd, who fears that he has to adapt to the demand to modernise his show.

However, his reflections on the ‘good old days’ do not last for long, and he begins to fear that he isn’t alone in the studio.

Have the long-buried ghosts of his past come back to haunt him, and at what cost?
