    204: Ghostwatch (1992) with Nick Roche

    On Halloween Night 1992, the BBC aired Ghostwatch, which purported to be a live investigation into a house and family that had been plagued by poltergeist activity. The studio segments were hosted by Michael Parkinson, while children's presenter Sarah Greene explored the house and interviewed the family at the center of the haunting. Things started to go very wrong and the show ended in disaster. Due to a quirk of scheduling, a large part of the audience didn't realise that it was all fake. Ghostwatch is frequently listed as one of the scariest TV moments of all time. Ghostwatch was written by Stephen Volk and directed by Lesley Manning. Comics writer and artist Nick Roche joins us to relive his experience of watching Ghostwatch, aged 13, dressed as Batman for Halloween. Nick is @NickRoche. His orignal graphic novel Scarenthood is out now and he's currently the robot designer for Transformers:EarthSpark on Nickolodeon. Alan is @alan_maguire.

    Welcome to our first proper episode of 2024. If you listened to our Weezer episode or our Patreon episodes then you know that Andrea and Alan are big fans of Pat Finnerty. Pat makes a fantastic youtube series called What Makes This Song Stink. We were delighted when he agreed to appear on the show and even more delighted when he picked Spinal Tap. P.S. there's a bit near the end where Pat says U2 but we misheard him and thought he said YouTube so if you're wondering why we suddenly start talking about YouTube, that's why. Pat is @the_pat_finnerty_show on instagram. What Makes This Song Stink is on YouTube. Start from episode 1, thank us later. Alan is @alan_maguire.
