The romance of Olde England, telling tall tales by the fireplace on a dark and stormy night, includes a tradition of holiday ghost stories dating back even before Dickens immortalized the trend with A Christmas Carol. As a chilling holiday treat, BritBox imports a collection of specials from the BBC, adapting the haunting writings of M.R. James, that were popular in the 1970s and were more recently revived by Mark Gatiss (Sherlock), with stars including Emma Thompson (in The Blue Boy), Tom Ellis and Suranne Jones (in The Secret of Crickley Hall), Simon Callow (The Dead Room) and Peter Capaldi (Martin’s Close). A new episode, The Mezzotint, premieres Christmas Eve, starring Penny Dreadful’sRory Kinnear.
