I am adding reviews for all films I've seen that so far lack one, at last I get the opportunity to recommend something, review follows... Made for the CFF (Childrens Film Foundation) by Fanfare, this is a short 50m comic tale of 3 kids and a couple of bickering ghosts who attempt to stop a property developer demolishing a house of historic interest, before the local council can list (preserve from tampering) the house; it's amusing, short and has many well known faces of British comedy, the director rather specialized in CFF adventures, good. As far as I know this is not available on commercial DVD, I obtained a collectors copy on DVD-r.Tim
