Why does Mark Gatiss have the monopoly on doing these Ghost Stories for Christmas? Surely someone else should be given a chance to show what they can do?
I haven't particularly enjoyed any of his, and I really don't think they should be associated with the classic Ghost Stories for Christmas. The only thing of his I rated was Crooked House and that's some time ago.
This latest one seemed very obvious and ham fisted with no tension built up at all, plus the added campness didn't work at all.
Perhaps it's the stories chosen that are part of the problem, maybe opening the net to other authors might help?
