A few STWers in the past have mentioned MR James and the BBC Xmas Ghost stories. (Thanks to those people for introducing me to MR James.)

It wasn't MR James this time, but anyone catch this year's?

I thought it was good and well in the spirit of these things. I especially liked the way they spelt out the Ghost story Formula - and used it!

An old AGSAC episode available ATM here:

If you like M R James, it's worth keeping an eye out to see if [url= http://www.nunkie.co.uk/the-mr-james-project ]Robert Llyod Parry[/url] is doing anything in your area; he does some very atmospheric, candlelight tellings of M R James ghost stories (usually in old pubs).

Thanks, PJay. Will search FB for him tonight and hopefully will get to hear of any gigs near me.

There's 5 little episodes on Radio 4 with Mark Gatiss as MR James as well, they're still on the I player.

The BBC documentary Ghost Writer is worth a look too.

"Ghost Writer" isn't available, right now. 🙁 However that lead me to another MR James-esque treat on iplayer:

The Ash tree:

It's one YouTube (whether legally or not I'm not sure); there's a link to it on the Nunkie M R James page.
