"Round and round the garden... like a teddy bear?!"

It's the annual Two Geeks Halloween special, and this year we look back at the downright terrifying 1992 one-off BBC mockumentary: Ghostwatch.

Starring Michael Parkinson, Sarah Greene and Craig Charles, the special spooked the entire UK when it aired, with many believing it was a real broadcast from a haunted house. While many loved it, it was met with criticism from many, and had real-life tragic consequences.

To this day, we're still terrified by it!

We discuss:

  • Tom's 'real' ghost story that made him believe in ghosts
  • Why Crimewatch and Casualty were scarier than they should have been
  • Michael Parkinson's surprisingly excellent acting
