Not content with scaring us last Christmas with a whole load of ghost stories, BBC4 has decided Halloween could do with some subtle chills as well. So they’ve adapted Dennis Wheatley’s The Haunting of Toby Jugg as The Haunted Airman, ready to give us all the shudders on All Hallow’s Eve.
It is, however, worth noting that Julian Sands is going to be in it, so maybe it won’t be that terrifying after all. Except in other ways.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
