    This Afternoon Play, based on the story by William Boyd, was broadcast during the Christmas season in 2001; I think there may be some discussion to be had as to exactly how ghostly it really is, much less how Christmassy - but it's been repeated over Christmas a couple of times in recent years so somebody in scheduling obviously thinks it fits the bill as a 'ghost story for Christmas'...
    MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind.
    I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn

    Just awful. A non-story. Is it a new genre?

      Boyd is one of the BBC / Guardian
      cliques favourites . Why , I really cannot comprehend. The epitome of the bland ,middle class scribbler with nothing to say. Well connected though obviously .Which in Britain is the main thing..!

      I'm afraid I didn't actually make this radio play so I can't account for their creative decisions.

      It's part of the story. He's in a bar.

      It's in the radio adaptation. You could turn it down when there is background music to denote a party or bar scene etc.
