Can't remember seeing one of them. (Which doesn't mean a thing.)

Aha, you think it’s a joke, do you?

Apparently Mark Gatiss has already filmed "The Mezzotint" for next Christmas. It looks like we're never going to see his take on "Count Magnus". However, if he does do it, I think he'll probably be in it too.

I love "The Mezzotint". One of my favorites James' stories. If Moffat gets the picture right this could be a good one.

This is hardly news, but it's new to me. It is a frame from the lost Mystery and Imagination version of "The Tractate Middoth" from the M.R. James Appreciation Society Face page: en-gb.facebook.com/groups/2343022578/This scene, not in the original story, makes dramatic sense.

I do remember this very well, and the episode scared the bejesus out of me!

I do remember this very well, and the episode scared the bejesus out of me! I doubt that I saw it. I can distinctly remember the "Casting the Runes" episode that was shown two years later being on. There was a scene with someone cowering from an unseen something with the sound of beating wings on the soundtrack.

Somebody tape recorded this show when it was first broadcast (in 1966 I think?) and by some weird chain of events, the tape is now on youtube. Obviously it's just the audio of the episode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IswoaMcLKfgThere are a few of these--in at least one, the guy falls asleep after about 15 minutes. And then you hear the sound of his sleep-breathing as a kind of counterpoint to what's on telly. I'm sure it had been a long day. H.

About a month ago I spent ages online looking for information on "The Ghost of M.R. James" by Sheila Hodgson in Blackwood's Magazine June 1979 with no success. I've just found the first two pages on the The M. R. James Appreciation Society website: en-gb.facebook.com/photo?fbid=4002214906521294&set=pcb.10159326341057579I've never seen the article quoted from. As it's pre- Ghosts and Scholars, does anyone know if it is worth a read?

As it's pre- Ghosts and Scholars, does anyone know if it is worth a read? It should have been useful when it was published in the later '70s, but for today's MRJ enthusiasts it doesn't contain anything new. I think you can give it a miss.

Yes, I read it before, but it didn't strike me as too interesting.
