It's a shame after such a sterling effort to revive the Ghost Stories for Christmas with last year's Tractate Middoth that Mr Gatiss has opted for a story of his own, which quite frankly is a bit of a bore, I'm sure looked great on paper but unfortunately falls flat on its face on tv. Simon Callow is the only real reason for watching the Dead Room as always he us just superb, but there is only so much he can be relied upon to do. Bit of a wasted effort.
