About This Program
For 15 years, Roger Winstanley has been haunted by an unsettling dream - an invitation to spend the night in the house of an acquaintance, where an unseen terror lurks, and figures who populate the dream seem to age in real time. Nightmare and waking life appear to collide when an invitation to the dreaded 'room in the tower' becomes all too real. Writer-director Mark Gatiss's adaptation of the EF Benson story, starring Tobias Menzies and Joanna Lumley
A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Room in the Tower broadcasts on BBC Two Wales at 10:00pm, Wednesday, 24 December 2025. (Subtitles, repeat)
