What a wonderful, creepy and intriguing tale Mark Gatiss has presented for us here with the marvellous Crooked House.
Set over three consecutive episodes, this story tells the tale of Lee Ingleby who plays a man who has unearthed an unearthly door knocker from his garden and goes to see the Cuator (Mark Gatiss) of an old museum who sheds light on its gruesome past of the now demolished Geap Manor.
The supporting cast in this production is superb with Jean Marsh, Phillip Jackson, Andy Nyman and even a fleeting cameo from the magician Derren Brown as a shadowy character.
I shall not give anything away as the plot is so intriguing it would spoil the ending. I'd recommend this drama for anyone who loves a good scare. I hope to see a few more episodes from Mark Gatiss as this format fits in perfectly for a full series of spooks and scares which would echo that of 'Tales of the Unexpected'.
Ten out of ten!
