The Ghost of St Michael's

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A feature film
[Starring] Will Hay
with Claude Hulbert, Charles Hawtrey

When 'St Michael 's School' is evacuated to the eerie Dunbain Castle on the Isle of Skye, William Lamb - their new teacher - naturally goes with them. He soon learns that the castle is haunted by the ghost of Mad MacKinnon and that the bagpipes sound when someone is about to die...

This comedy thriller, set in war-time Britain, is not only one of Hay's funniest films but also an exciting and often tense murder mystery.
