We chatted to Rich Lawden, the maker of documentary Ghostwatch: Behind The Curtains, about the haunting legacy of Pipes...
When Ghostwatch screened on BBC1 in 1992, it received a record number of complaints from viewers who were upset, shocked, terrified or angry about it. Worried that perhaps they had gone too far, the BBC refused to rebroadcast it and, as a result of its relative obscurity, the show took on a near-mythical cult status. However, one young viewer it made a huge impression on was Rich Lawden who, twenty years later, would release a passionate and comprehensive documentary (Ghostwatch: Behind The Curtains) that covered everything you could ever want to know about the programme but were afraid to ask.

The 'live' broadcast Ghostwatch scared many people witless back in 1992. It's still spooking Craig right to this day...
Like many who are old enough to remember Halloween 1992, I watched Ghostwatch when it aired on BBC1 and was just the right age; poised somewhere between old enough to love it and young enough to believe it was real. I was staying over at a friend's house and his mum had no problem letting us stay up late.
