A 2025 GHOST STORY FESTIVE DRAMA 

BBC's annual festive A Ghost Story for Christmas series TV movie from Mark Gattis will this year be THE ROOM IN THE TOWER and will see Tobias Menzies playing Roger Winstanley, who has been haunted by an unsettling, recurring dream! It's 1944, and while sheltering during an air raid, Roger strikes up a conversation with Verity, a Wren. When he asks if she dreams, he begins to recount the haunting vision that has followed him formost of his life: a recurring dream of a mysterious house, a silent family on the lawn and an unseen, unidentified terror lurking in the room in the tower. But when he is invited to stay at a country estate eerily similar to the one in his dreams, and is assigned the very same room, he becomes increasingly disturbed as his nightmare begin to become reality. What is really lurking, waiting for him in the room in the tower? Airing on Christmas Eve on BBC Two as it has now become a holiday tradition in United Kingdom, this short TV drama also stars Joanna Lumley and Polly Walker.
