StarringSylvester McCoy (Seventh Doctor) Sophie Aldred (Ace) Ian Hogg - Josiah Samuel Smith Michael Cochrane - Redvers Fenn-Cooper Carl Forgione - Nimrod Sharon Duce - Control John Nettleton - Rev Ernest Matthews Katharine Schlesinger - Gwendoline Frank Windsor - Inspector Mackenzie Brenda Kempner - Mrs Grose Sylvia Syms - Mrs Pritchard John Hallam - Light Written byMarc Platt Produced byJohn Nathan-Turner Directed byAlan Wareing SynopsisLondon, 1983: an old house mysteriously burns to the ground. On hundred years earlier, the Doctor and Ace arrive at a sinister mansion in the rural hamlet of Perivale. Horrors old and new await the Doctor amongst the peculiar residents of Gabriel Chase ... but it is Ace who must confront her own worst nightmares when she discovers that her past and the house's future are inextricably linked ... BackgroundGhost Light has the dubious distinction of being the last Doctor Who story made by the BBC during the programme's original run, bringing an end to production after 26 continuous years. Made as a studio-bound period piece, Ghost Light ably demonstrates the versatility of the series, as writer Marc Platt and script editor Andrew Cartmel experiment with a non-linear type of storytelling which doesn't offer much in the way of explanation or exposition. An all-star cast coupled with the BBC's finely-honed talent for costume drama gives a solid backdrop to the story. If nothing else, Ghost Light offers an intriguing snapshot of the direction Doctor Who might have taken had the series not been cancelled in 1989 ... | ||
