Ghost Dad

on BBC One London

Comedy starring Bill Cosby
Too busy trying to earn a living, widower Elliot Hopper is losing touch with his children. Then an accident means he loses touch with everything - he discovers he has become a ghost. Elliot, however, is too determined to make things right for his kids to let that inconvenience him. On the verge of a major business deal, Elliot must use his wits to make people think he is still alive and kicking.
Director Sidney Poitier (1990)
