BBC Films Screen One Distributor BFI Producer Ruth Baumgarten Writer Stephen Volk 

Director Lesley Manning

Highest rating single drama.

 --- "I can no longer hear the word "Pipes" without feeling a bit of a shudder somewhere in my psyche, and remembering Ghostwatch. And that lingering ability to intrude into the daylight world is undeniably the mark of an excellent horror story"
