Timothy buys a richly coloured old painting.
The canvas depicts the Bristol Riots of 1831.
His sister Jenny makes friends with Mrs Bettertons young granddaughter, Emily.
The ghosts appear only to the children, their more sceptical parents accuse them of making up silly stories.
But what is the mystery of the Clifton House?
Why is the previous owner so reluctant to speak about her time there?
Will the Clare family ever be free of the spirits?
Its quite refreshing to see a drama not over-dependant on familiar names to make it work.
The performances are of a uniformly high standard throughout.
The actors bring a rare conviction to their parts.
The ending is somewhat open-ended, though.
Something of a forgotten gem.
The lack of extras is a shame given Networks track record in this department.
Maybe Peter Sallis could have shared his memories?
However, when the main feature is this good, extras may seem a tad superflous anyway.
Perfect viewing as darkness falls….
