A vastly wealthy American family move to rural England, to a huge mansion called Canterville Chase, unaware that the house is haunted by resident Ghost, Sir Simon de Canterville.
I wondered why a BBC produced show ended up on Channel 5, and I kind of understand why, first episode down, and I'm a bit mixed, I can see that it's easy going family fun, I just think with the story, cast and setting, that it could have been a lot better.
I wish they'd used American actors in the lead roles, I'm a fan of both Lance and Catz, but those accents were horrible, and they did actually slip a few times. The standout here was Haydn Gwynne.
I'm not too sure about the accuracy, I don't think it was illegal for Catholics to worship in Tudor times, I may be wrong there.
Maybe it'll open up a bit, it wasn't the best first episode, 5/10.
