204: Ghostwatch (1992) with Nick Roche

On Halloween Night 1992, the BBC aired Ghostwatch, which purported to be a live investigation into a house and family that had been plagued by poltergeist activity. The studio segments were hosted by Michael Parkinson, while children’s presenter Sarah Greene explored the house and interviewed the family at the center of the haunting. Things started to go very wrong and the show ended in disaster. Due to a quirk of scheduling, a large part of the audience didn’t realise that it was all fake. Ghostwatch is frequently listed as one of the scariest TV moments of all time. Ghostwatch was written by Stephen Volk and directed by Lesley Manning.

Comics writer and artist Nick Roche joins us to relive his experience of watching Ghostwatch, aged 13, dressed as Batman for Halloween.

Nick is @NickRoche. His orignal graphic novel Scarenthood is out now and he’s currently the robot designer for Transformers:EarthSpark on Nickolodeon.

Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now but he does a bit of standup sometimes too.
