In this brand new show, Stephen Brotherstone – co-writer of the acclaimed Scarred For Lifebooks –joins Fortean Times columnist Bob Fischer to unwrap the lingering trauma of all our childhood Christmases.

And Christmas decorations held together with saliva? You’re all set. Opena tatty selection box full of undersized Curly Wurlies and prepare to relive your yuletide nightmares of Worzel Gummidge, The Stone Tape,K9 and Company,TheWoman in Black,Jackanory Spine Chillers... and many, many more! Including that weird episode of Bergerac where it all goes a bit Folk Horror.

Fortean Times columnist Bob Fischer, meanwhile, is the creator ofThe Haunted Generation, a multi-media exploration of the weirder side of the 1970s childhood.
