Nearest And Dearest

Series 3, Special - The Ghost Of Picklers Past

It is Boxing Day in the Pledge house. Christmas is just a pile of turkey bones and stubbed-out cigar butts. Bored, Lily and Walter join Nellie and Eli in a seance. Instead of a voice from the dead, they are visited by the chilling sight of a skull at the window. Does the ghost of Beetroot Bill Buckley's grandad walk again?
