There have been two UK home video releases. From 2017 to 2019, Ghostwatch was available on the American streaming video service Shudder, and was made available on the Internet Archive in 2017. It has been repeated internationally, on stations such as the Canadian digital channel Scream for Halloween 2004, and the Belgian channel Canvas in 2008. Ghostwatch has never been repeated on UK television. During and following its first and only UK television broadcast, the show attracted a considerable furor, resulting in an estimated 1,000,000 phone call enquiries to the BBC switchboard on the night of broadcast, comprising a mixture of complaints and praise for the programme's unique presentation. Written by Stephen Volk, and directed by Lesley Manning, the drama was produced for the BBC anthology series Screen One by Richard Broke, Ruth Baumgarten and Derek Nelson.ĭespite having been recorded weeks in advance, the narrative was presented as live television. Ghostwatch is a British reality– horror/ pseudo-documentary television film, first broadcast on BBC1 on Halloween night, 1992.
