The Signalman - A Ghost Story for Christmas (1976-ENG SUB)

The Signalman is a short film which is part of the British supernatural anthology series A Ghost Story for Christmas. Audio in English with English subtitles (click on CC for subtitles).

Written by Andrew Davies, produced by Rosemary Hill, and directed by the series' creator, Lawrence Gordon Clark, it is based on the ghost story "The Signal-Man" (1866) by Charles Dickens, and first aired on BBC1 on 22 December 1976.

It stars Denholm Elliott as a lone signalman who is visited by a traveller (Bernard Lloyd). The signalman reveals that he is being haunted by a spectre which has appeared at the entrance of the tunnel next to his signal box, and these visions begin to likewise trouble the traveller in his sleep.

The fashion and technology visible suggest that the film is set in the 1900s rather than the 1860s. Production on the play was done exclusively on location on the Severn Valley Railway
