BBC 'Ghost Story for Christmas' to Adapt Dickens' 'Bride's Chamber'
Mark Gatiss adapts a rare Charles Dickens tale as the BBC’s ninth festive ghost story, with Martin Freeman and Jim Broadbent leading the cast.
- Writer Mark Gatiss adapted The Bride's Chamber for the BBC Two annual Ghost Story For Christmas special, starring Martin Freeman and Jim Broadbent in this Dickens-inspired tale.
- Originally published in 1858, the story was co-written by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, following a vengeful suitor whose murderous plan to claim a fortune creates his own purgatory.
- Principal photography for the production took place earlier this year at Ingatestone Hall in Essex, with the cast also featuring Adrian Scarborough, Joe Armstrong, India Fowler, and Lewis Shepherd.
- The special arrives alongside a broader slate of Dickens-inspired programming on the BBC, including a three-part documentary on Victorian London and a four-part adaptation of Two Cities.
- This production serves as a highlight of the National Year of Reading, with the BBC scheduling the story to air over the festive period on BBC Two.
