BBC CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES
[SHORT-STORIES, FOLKLORE, OR RADIO-SCRIPTS]
The English ghost story tradition was represented in early programming on the BBC not so much
by anything like a regular series but by a number of special programs throughout the Twenties
and Thirties.
The earliest known radio broadcast of ghost stories was a pre-Christmas quarter-hour,
emanating from the BBC studios in Birmingham in 1923 and featuring Mr. John Hingeley as
storyteller. This was followed later in the evening by the enactment of scenes from Dickens’ A
Christmas Carol by Percy Edgar, soon to be a key figure in the production of the first radio
fantasy series at the Birmingham station.
[“On Ghost Stories,” The Times, December 8, 1925] “At this season of the year, when winter is
come in earnest and his own fireside makes a strong claim even upon the least domesticated of
men, there is a tendency to revive, in favour of ghosts and goblins, the old practice of story-telling,
or at least of story-reading, which is otherwise so greatly fallen into decay… one of the best of
winter’s traditions… the reading aloud of ghost stories is too good an entertainment to perish of
modesty or self-consciousness. Its shared excitement, the feeling it gives of harmonious
adventure, of ‘common thrill,’ shuts out the world for an hour or two as nothing else shuts it out.”
In 1926 “Ghost” Programme was a one-shot which certainly had a strong kernel of an idea for a
regular series which has never really been followed up on—a horror-variety hour, if you will,
featuring musical numbers, storytelling and dramatic sketches, all in the vein of the spectral and
macabre.
