The BBC is set to deliver a chilling Christmas treat for viewers with the adaptation of E.F. Benson's ghost story, 'The Room in the Tower.' The program, which is the eighth BBC ghost story for Christmas from writer and director Mark Gatiss, is scheduled to air in the coming weeks.
Gatiss, known for his work on Sherlock and Bookish, has assembled a stellar cast for the atmospheric tale, including Tobias Menzies (The Crown) and the legendary Dame Joanna Lumley. The story follows Roger Winstanley, who has been haunted for 15 years by a recurring dream of an invitation to spend the night in a house where an unseen terror lurks.
