| Pre-Order: Ghost Stories for Christmas: Volume 1 (3-Disc Blu-ray Box Set) £26.99 Released 5 December 2022 Broadcast in the dying hours of Christmas Eve, the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas series was a fixture of the seasonal schedules throughout the 1970s and spawned a long tradition of chilling tales, which terrified yuletide viewers for decades to come. This much-requested release gives four landmarks of the series their Blu-ray debut, having been newly remastered by the BFI from original film materials.

""Ghost Stories for Christmas: Volume 1" is a great start in the HD upgrades for the annual series with the initial episodes being remastered and collected in this set. With excellent restorations and having a wealth of informative vintage and new extras, this is easily one of the best if not the best television Blu-ray release of the year with high marks to the BFI."
