GhostWatch bbc (1992)
in the 90's The British based television network the BBC provided the audience with this surreal reality television style show featuring English Television
presenters including Michael Parkinson and Sarah Green along with mike smith lastly actor Craig Charles that goes and investigate hauntings around England
with intensions to shock the audience this was pre-most haunted and it did lead to many viewers complained about the nature of the show thought that they were
seeing on the screen was real and lead the show to be pulled for an decade and was never shown on television and over time the show did get some valuation
by the way of digital distribution on DVD that comes stand alone or an double feature pack along with the disturbing television drama the stone tape
however both shows was voted the most scariest moments in a channel four viewers pol how ever ghost watch was starting at the time when the X-files was
beginning it's pop culture status but the show was published in pulp horror magazines for fangoria and many others that followed lastly there's vintage
clips of the show widely available on viral video sites like youtube and the DVD can be purchased online via ebay and amazon for marked up prices and
must have for horror collectors and ghost hunting enthusiasts to treasure for ever and it was the most shocking mockumentary since the notorious faces
of death that was deemed as an video nasty in the pre-cert era in my expressive opinion I classed Ghost Watch as an shock documentary with inspirations
of facsimiles that followed but if you are at an nervous disposition I wouldn't recommend to watch it alone in the dark to say it will send shivers up
your spine so it is best watch it with a group of people with the lights on and sick bags aplenty this is best served chilled at Halloweens that's if
you have balls of steel and an rock hard stomach failing that call Bruce Campbell to comfort you all joking aside it is a must see experience and an
important note Charles is more known for playing Dave Lister in the cult sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf and for the robotic battle show Robot Wars and for
green and smith are renowned for their works of hosting the weekly pop entertainment show Top of The Pops and as radio dj's on BBC radio 1 and for
green her other works was presenting the factual Saturday morning magazine show going live with Philip Schofield and for Parkinson he was known for
being an talk show host called Parkinson in which he interviews upcoming and establish celebrities that was hot property for that decade well as being
a spokes man for an life insurance campaign for sun life's over 50 plan also for Charles he had an late night entertainment show where he interview
guests well as introducing live acts during the 90's decade and green also did advertising campaigns for nescafes gold blend range with gareth hunt .
