Hallowe'en isn't until Saturday but here's comedian Reece Shearsmith (from The League of Gentlemen) in a haunted house in Hackney, with a bunch of other entertainers as keen as he is on ghosts, apparitions and macabre manifestations, to discuss the history of horror in entertainment. This week, together with Vic Reeves, Mark Gatiss and Yvette Fielding (often found on satellite TV, being gripped by spooky emanations), they discuss classic scary shows from British radio and TV and their essential ingredients. Next week, films.
