Dame Joanna Lumley and Tobias Menzies are set to star in The Room in the Tower, this year’s spine-chilling Ghost Story for Christmas on the BBC. This is Gatiss’ eighth Ghost Story for Christmas for the BBC, following acclaimed adaptations of The Mezzotint, Count Magnus, and last year’s The Woman of Stone. Alongside Lumley and Menzies, the cast features Nancy Carroll, Ben Mansfield, and Polly Walker. Mark Gatiss, Writer and Director, said: “I’ve always wanted to adapt the great E.F. Benson’s ghost stories and this is one of his chilling best. “The Room in the Tower has been prepared for you – and with Tobias Menzies and the legendary Dame Joanna Lumley to boot!”The Room in the Tower will air on BBC Two and iPlayer this December.
