This is an enjoyable haunted house story set in 1974 Yorkshire. It doesn't take long after a new family move into the house, before creepy things start to happen. Focussing mainly on the daughter Sally (Tasha Connor), we're spared arduous scenes of parents failing to believe her stories of ghostly reflections and misbehaving electrical items, because the poltergeist activity soon becomes widespread.
Based on a true story, the star of this show is its attention to period detail. While some long shots might reveal anachronistic satellite dishes occasionally, everything else is spot on. For those of who vaguely remember the 1970s, this provides a genuine nostalgic twinge every so often.
I liked all the characters, especially the juveniles, who are tricky to get right. A special mention for salty Father Clifton (Bernie Lewis).
Swinging light shades can be far more frightening than a wealth of CGI, as the finale proves. Low-key these frights may be, but they were enough to get under my skin a few times. My score is 8 out of 10.
