Episode 93 – Count Magnus Awakens

A BBC Ghost Story for Christmas is thankfully as traditional as quaffing eggnog and leaving out a carrot for Rudolph. And what a treat, as this year Count Magnus made the Black Pilgrimage onto our screens.  But has Mark Gatiss been naughty or nice? We give you our verdict.

Show notes

• A recent interview with Mark Gattis including his ambition to adapt Casting the Runes
• Our coverage of Count Magnus in episode 6, exactly 11 years before this adaptation aired!
• A rather splendid reading of the Innkeeper’s story, read by Jacqueline Simpson in episode 53
