The original story makes great play of the 'linen face'. We don't really get that here |

The moral of the story: if you're thinking about a holiday in East Anglia, self-catering's probably the best option |

That was properly scary. The more so, because until the last two minutes, I was waiting for something to happen.

I agree that it was very well done, and Hordern is always good to watch, but I didn't find it at all scary, sorry.
