Written by and starring Mark Gatiss, Crooked House is a haunting tale of three spine-chilling ghost stories.

When school teacher Ben unearths an old door-knocker in the garden of his new home, the curator suggests it may come from the now-demolished manor house – a house reputed to be haunted... Intrigued, Ben prompts the curator to tell him some of the stories about the house, and so begins a journey through time. As the drama begins, corrupt Georgian businessman Joseph Bloxham finds something unexpected in the woodwork of his new home. Back in the Twenties, the happy engagement party of young couple Felix de Momery and Ruth is spoiled by the spectre of a ghostly bride. And, back in the present day, Ben soon finds himself in darker, more dangerous waters than he could possibly have foreseen...

Produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for the BBC, this haunting tale features a wonderfully diverse cast, including Julian Rhind-Tutt, Philip Jackson, Lee Ingleby, Jean Marsh, Samuel Barnett, Daniela Denby-Ashe, Anna Madeley and, in his debut dramatic role, illusionist Derren Brown.
