Mark Gatiss’ spine-tingling adaptation is faithful to the heart and spirit of Charles Dickens’ much-loved festive ghost story.

It’s Christmas Eve. As the cold, bleak night draws in, the penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted by the spirit of his former business partner, Jacob Marley.

Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it is not too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate.

The Duke In The Cupboard

On 2 August 1961, Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington, which had been saved for the nation by a special treasury grant, was put on display at The National Gallery in London.

Nineteen days later it was stolen. Four years after the theft, Kempton Bunton, a 61-year-old unemployed former bus driver from Benwell, Newcastle, baffled Scotland Yard detectives by confessing to the theft.
Had this heavily built, antisocial, bespectacled Geordie really outwitted the gallery’s sophisticated security?

The case sparked a national sensation and Susan Wear wrote the play after reading secret Director of Public Prosecution papers relating to the case.
The recent film versionstarred Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren.
