A Signalman working at a lonely and isolated Station is met by a cheery stranger, The Signalman meets him with a degree of suspicion, but after a somewhat strained introduction, The Signalman shares a supernatural tale.
One of the most memorable entries in the series, notable for being a story penned by Charles Dickens, as opposed to MR James.
Some of the dialogue is outstanding, for the whole duration your attention is held, as you watch, you hold on to every word.
It boasts atmosphere in abundance, the location and music add a great deal to the story itself, this is one to get watched late at night.
I can't complement the acting enough, Denholm Elliott and Bernard Lloyd are fantastic, not just the dialogue, but the body language, the timing, the pair are terrific. You get a true sense that one disbelieves the other, they view one another with a degree of unease.
An outstanding Ghost story.
10/10.
