Synopsis:







The BBC gives over a whole evening to an "investigation into the supernatural". Four respected presenters and a camera crew attempt to discover the truth behind "The most haunted house in Britain", expecting a light-hearted scare or two, and probably the uncovering of a hoax.

They think they're in control of the situation. They think they're safe.

The viewers settle down and decide to watch "for a laugh". Ninety minutes later the BBC, and the country, was changed, and the consequences are still felt today.
