For centuries, Britain has embraced a winter tradition more chilling than cheerful: the telling of ghost stories at Christmas.
And none understood this better than M.R. James - master of the uncanny, scholar of the supernatural, and creator of tales that burrow under the skin.
In this Christmas special, we bring to life one of his most haunting works: A Warning to the Curious.
On the bleak Norfolk coast, an amateur achaeologist named Paxton believes he has uncovered the last of the mythical Anglo-Saxon crowns - treasures said to protect England from invasion. But some relics are guarded by more than legend...and Paxton's discovery awakens an ancient sentinel that does not rest, does not forgive and does not stop.
Through storm - lashed dunes, flickering candles, and the cold hush of winter nights, this tale unfolds as a warning from the past:
some secrets were never meant to be found.
This episode blends atmospheric dramatization with the eerie storytelling spirit of M.R. James himself - made for quiet December nights, when the boundary between the living and the lost grows thin.
Settle in.
Dim the lights
And listen closely..
