Happy New Year! But Christmas continues. Here's another gem from the archives of the podcast A Very British Horror, wherein Paul and Chris discuss a (sort of) ghost story for Christmas, the BBC's 1975 adaptation of MR James' The Ash Tree, which is currently streaming on BBC iPlayer. Coincidentally, it stars Edward Petherbridge, who also appears in The Exorcism, which we covered in the last episode of And Now thePodcast Starts...
