This series was first broadcast over Christmas and New Year 2006/7; and it's rather light and silly in tone; but it's definitely macabre in theme. Set in the archaeological section of a museum it imagines a night when the mummies are bought to life - but not just the mummies, but any and all human remains in the museum, including skeletons, detached limbs, and in one case a talking tooth.
If you're interested to learn about the century-long history of ghost and horror stories broadcast at Christmas on British television and radio, you might like to check out HOLLY WRAITHS (and its companion volume HOLLY TERRORS), an A-Z guide available in paperback and ebook from Amazon and Lulu.com.
