Sorry to hear the revered English TV / radio host, journalist and author, has passed. His trusted, unflappable screen persona was cleverly used in two horror films: patronising unhinged horror star Vincent Price with banal questions in (1974) and as the sceptical anchorman caught up in a national séance in the BBC's infamous (1992).

If anyone wants to see that Gregg Wallace Great British Meat thing it's on Channel 4 in around 10 minutes from now. It's only on for half an hour and I'm going to skim through the thing out of curiosity later.

Anyway we're still waiting for a repeat to turn up; last year on the 30th anniversary would have been perfect but alas that was the Blu-ray launch date so it wasn't to be. Ah well maybe next year...

Today I realized I'd missed the 'live special' Dead Line on my recent watch through of .

I have now corrected this mistake, and... omg it's genuinely a very scary bit if telly! It's reminiscent of , which some of you will recognize as high praise indeed.

The TV Halloween special, (1992) is hugely influential in the genre. It has never since been broadcast on the BBC.

The Conjuring 2, despite being nominally based on a "real case" has been nearly lifted from this special.

It is available to Stream on . If you've not watched it, I can't recommend it highly enough.

and at least some extras tonight. Fabulous piece of work. Still stands up. Had serious FOMO about this set as missed out on release and it sold out pretty quickly - then got lucky with a brand new copy via Rarewaves and Amazon Marketplace... And it arrived today!

There has to be a joke about ordering the new blu-ray expecting to get it by Halloween and instead receiving it in time for Christmas. Looks like a nice set though. instagram.com/p/CmH21uSvSrq/?i

@MevsMatze @RichTate How was this movie. I enjoyed the second conjuring but mostly, I think, because many of the scenes and plot were so heavily inspired by .

Just signed up to the BFI Player with the genuine intention of watching films that turned up on Sight and Sound’s recent top 100. But it’s a Friday night and I’m half a bottle of wine down. So, Ghostwatch doc it is

Amazon have released a new technology called AWS Pipes - Amazon EventBridge Pipes to its mum - and it looks like a really great product for integrating a complex and high-traffic tech stack

But, bring British and of a certain age, if it's called Pipes I'm going to end up thinking of Ghostwatch every time I use it

If you have seen please weigh in on whether or not it would still hold up?
I've never seen it & am debating buying it, but I wonder if it is *actually* scary or if people have their affection/experience tinged with nostalgia, sort of like how many of my American friends feel about the IT miniseries. (Which I love, btw, I'm just trying to find a comparison.)

Nice discovery for fans - the BFI Player has Ghostwatch: Behind the Curtains on it. It's a making-of documentary about from a decade ago - I hadn't seen it, and it's quite fun/interesting.

Just finished watching the new blu ray of - my goodness it’s still effective. Even knowing it’s not real I can still buy into it and suspend my disbelief. It makes for a cracking, and unsettling ghost story.

@ValerianForrest When it was just 15 years old I showed to friends who'd never seen it. I'd watched and loved it when it aired, but I was worried they would be put off by the outdatedness of the TV language, which I became acutely aware of as we watched. But they were terrified.

Watching it again last night (as I do each year!) I was focused instead on just how brilliantly it is put together and realised, and how good the writing and performances are. I love it.
