Courtesy of ITV Teletext:

The League Of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss has penned a spine-chilling drama to air on BBC4 this Christmas.

Crooked House weaves together three ghost stories, set in different eras, centred around a haunted manor.

Gatiss will also star, alongside West Wing's Julian Rhind-Tutt, Lee Ingleby (Place Of Execution), and ex-EastEnder Daniela Denby-Ashe. Illusionist Derren Brown also makes his drama debut.

Gatiss, whose other writing credits include Doctor Who, said: "Ever since I was a child and thrilled to the BBC's classic MR James adaptations, I've dreamt of sending a festive shiver down the nation's spine.

"I'm delighted to finally have the opportunity."

Adaptations of James's stories, including Lost Hearts, became a tradition on the BBC during the '70s.

Crooked House begins with a school teacher unearthing a door knocker in the garden of his new home.

A museum curator, played by Gatiss, suggests it belongs to a demolished house which was believed to have been haunted.

He goes on tell the teacher three tales involving ghostly apparitions. BBC4 revived the MR James Christmas ghost story tradition in 2006.
