Susan Hill's The Small Hand is being filmed for Channel 5. I expect it'll transmit over the Christmas period.
I once had a nice chat with the screenwriter about Jonathan Miller's Whistle and I'll Come to You.
ETA: I've edited the title to Susan Hill's Ghost Story which is what Channel 5 is calling it. It's transmitting on Boxing Day.
The negative reviews were entirely earned. This was absolutely dreadful. Waffer-thin material padded mercilessly and really badly done in every department. I was genuinely so non-plussed by some of Douglas Henshall's line deliveries that I wondered if his character was supposed to have had a stroke. My other theories were that he had come to the ADR direct from the pub or from having new teeth fitted.
I read the 100% negative reviews before/instead of watching this.
