The Canterville ghost / written by Jude Tindall ; series producer, Sue Howells ; directed by Paul Gibson, Suri Krishnamma.
A witty and modern remake of Oscar Wilde's novella about an American family who moves into a haunted English country house. From the makers of Father Brown. Sir Simon de Canterville is the premier ghost in the British Isles, and exquisitely proud of his dastardly reputation. So when the Otis family leaves America and moves into Canterville's abandoned family estate, Sir Simon prepares to give them the fright of their life. There's just one problem. The Otis isn't scared of ghosts. Pranks, prophecies, and frightfully plummy accents abound in this romantic and spine-tingling adventure about love, loss, and family.
