featuring Bernard Hill as Yosser Hughes with Jean Warren as Maureen and James Ellis as the Wino also with the participation of Graeme Souness and Sammy Lee

'Gizzajob.' 'I could do that.' Yosser's words became the catchphrases of a generation, shouted at politicians at political rallies, and goalkeepers at Anfield.
His character became the symbol of the unemployed of the 80s.

The famous ghost story by M.R. James
Adapted by Jonathan Miller

Starring Michael Hordern
with Ambrose Coghill as the Colonel, George Woodbridge as the Hotel Proprietor, Nora Gordon as the Proprietress, Freda Dowie as the Maid

Jonathan Miller's adaptation made for Omnibus was described by The Times as 'having moments of terror as powerful as anything in Hitchcock'. It is a story of solitude and terror, with a moral too. It hints at the dangers of intellectual pride, and shows how a man's reason can be overthrown when he fails to acknowledge those forces inside himself which he simply cannot understand.
