Way back in about 1989 the BBC re-screened a short film "A Ghost of a Chance" that was originally shot some twenty years earlier in 1968, The film was shown as a part of BBC's 'Friday Film Specials' & IIRC, it appeared after John Craven's Newsround as part of the CBBC schedule. The story follows three children who have overheard the derelict mansion they use as a clubhouse is due to be demolished, they befriend a pair of ghosts that haunt the house & between them they prevent its destruction. The cast included Terry Scott, Bernard Cribbins, Ronnie Barker & Patricia Hayes.
My school friend Paul taped it off the TV & we watched it time & time again 20+ years ago - eventually though his mum taped over & i've been on the lookout for it ever since... Myself & Will have often reminisced about it - in fact, i believe he has a copy of the entire film. Youtube has yielded a short clip containing the biggest star of all... A Slough built 2CV! I'm quite sure that the 2CV features throughout the film.
Anyone else familiar with it?
Enjoy!
