BBC's Ghost***ch

Celebrating its 25th anniversary tomorrow - does anyone remember it? At the time, found it absolutely terrifying, but watched it again recently and, not surprisingly, it does seem a little wooden. Will never forget the sight of Pipes in the patio window, though...!

I loved a paranormal stuff as a kid but made my mum turn that off. Remember Wall Street was on the other side. Did they repeat it though cos can't believe I was 9 at the time.

A teen killed himself after this - not immediately but it affected him so badly he supposedly took his own life because of it

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."

I don't think it's ever been repeated, mainly because of the backlash it received and the associations with the suicide. You can pick it up quite cheaply on DVD, though.

For its time, quite a groundbreaking piece of TV.
