00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,320
This programme contains
some strong language

00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,040
and some scenes which some viewers
may find upsetting

Oh, excuse me.
<font color="

00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,120
You're Mr Parkway, I take it?

10
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Er, Dr Parkway, yes.

11
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,280
You must be Mr Wilson?

12
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Oh, call me Dick. Everyone does.

13
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,840
So have you ever been
champing before?

14
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,960
Sorry?

15
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,680
Champing - camping in a church.
<font color="

16
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,040
Though it does have unfortunate
connotations of someone

17
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,000
eating with their mouth full.

18
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Ah, no, I haven't, actually.

19
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,440
My wife booked this as a Christmas
present, but sadly, sh...

20
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,000
As I'm sure you're aware,
<font color="

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,800
these old buildings, and champing
is our biggest money-spinner.

22
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,640
We let them all in, every creed,
faith, culture -

23
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,440
as long as they pay
their overnight fees.

24
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaking of which...?

25
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Oh, yes, sorry.
<font color="

26
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,920
I've got my swiper.

00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,080
HE CHUCKLES

28
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,880
As you see,
I've set up your bed here.

29
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Some churches put a full-size
Queen Anne in the transept,

30
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,800
but speaking personally,
I don't think it's in fitting.

31
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,360
<font color="
"We're not an Airbnb."

32
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,200
"No, Dick", he said,
"we're a Prayer C of E!"

33
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,320
HE LAUGHS

34
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,000
85 and sharp as a blade.

35
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Many's the time I've seen him
do a Wordle in two.

36
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Ah, yes, um, I set up
<font color="

37
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,800
with some literature on the history
of the place.

38
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,880
Fascinating. Did you know that
in the 15th century...?

39
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,240
Uh, can I ask, um,
do you spend the night here also,

40
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,640
or will you eventually leave?

41
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,480
<font color="
don't worry.

42
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,240
I have to tell you that we've
never had a booking

43
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,520
on Christmas Eve before!

Oh, thank you.

46
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,480
Your wife will be joining you later,
will she?

<font color="

48
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,400
I am so sorry.

49
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,360
So sorry - I've charged you
at a two person rate.

50
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,480
I'll void it and start again.
No, no, no. No, please.

51
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,000
I just want to spend
a peaceful night here

52
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,680
alone with my thoughts and memories.

53
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,840
<font color="

54
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Merry Christmas, Dr Parkway.

55
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600
And God bless us, every one.

Hello?

00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,000
I told you it would be.

69
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
It's a bloody church,
what did you expect?

70
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
What did I expect
on Christmas Eve night?

Holiday Inn, maybe.
Blame global warming.

74
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360
Anyway, I asked that old bloke
to try and get us some booze.

75
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,120
Champers for the champers.
That should cheer you up a bit.

Thy kegdom come, I will be drunk,
at home, as in the tavern.

Give us this day our foamy head,
and forgive us our spillages,

You're not funny, you know.

00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,600
Course I am. Hey, do you want to see
my little white balls...?

He arrives in the morning.

You nearly give us a bloody heart

91
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,160
No, no, I'm Dr Parkway, Jasper,

92
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,960

of this church till 10am tomorrow.

She's buried out in the graveyard.

00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,280
I simply wanted to spend the night
here in quiet contemplation.

96
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,800
Oh, well, we booked it on
the website this morning.

98
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,840
I'm Pierce. This is my wife, Posy.

99
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Like the flowers. Yeah, because when
her mam got pregnant with her,

100
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,440
the first thing she said was
"Thanks a bunch."

101
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400
<font color="
I'm sorry about your mother.

102
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,720
We were supposed to be going to
Lapland yesterday,

103
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,800
only they rang up and said
there wasn't any snow.

104
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,560
How unfortunate.

105
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,040
Yeah. They said we could still go
<font color="

106
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,480
but we thought, well, if
it's not an igloo, what's the point?

107
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Well, I hate to disappoint you
but as you can see,

108
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,360
there's only one bed set out.

109
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,240
Don't worry about that.
We've come prepared.

110

<font color="

111
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,840
We'll just set up here beside you.

112
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Who wants a brew?

113
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,000
Oh, sorry.

WIND HOWLS

115
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960
These biscuits are nice, Po.
Do you want one?

116
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,640
I don't think they're for us,
Pierce, they're like church wafers.

117
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,160
<font color="
It's the Eucharist.

118
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,960
The body of Christ.

119
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Oh, shit!

120
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,640
Sorry! They taste like rich teas,
anyway.

121
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,640
The most boring of all biscuits.

122
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,200
Apart from them Nices which,
ironically enough, are horrible.

123
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,960
<font color="
if there's anything else.

124
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,800
There's got to be a kitchen
somewhere. Yeah.

125
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Especially with all these
lady vicars now. Idiot.

Not particularly, no.

130
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,520
It's the building itself
I'm most interested in.

131
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Oh, right, you're more like
a history doctor, then,

132
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Indiana Jones,
Da Vinci Code stuff?

I don't know.

142

I just pulled back the curtain,
and he were there.

143
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,160
I thought it was Paul Hollywood.

144
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,680
You wouldn't want him
reaching out

145
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:10,320
and giving you an handshake,
would you?

Uh, a little before that, I believe.

150
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,960
Patron Saint and protector
of children dating back

151
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,040
to around 300 AD,
possibly even earlier.

152
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
What's his origin story?

153
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,560
<font color="

154
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,280
Actually, St Nick was an "Avenger"
in his own way.

155
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:36,640
Three small children
were said to be lost one night,

156
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,680
after straying too far from their
homes whilst playing in the woods.

157
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,200
As darkness fell,
<font color="

158
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,200
belonging to a butcher.

159
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,680
He offered them food
and shelter for the night,

160
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,880
and they eagerly accepted
his invitation.

161
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,240
However, once inside,
the butcher set upon the three boys,

162
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,480
<font color="

163
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,720
Bloody hell!

164
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,920
He then cut up the children's bodies

165
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,600
and laid the pieces
in a salting tub,

166
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,560
preserving their flesh to sell
as ham to the nearby villagers.

167
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Seven years had passed when
<font color="

168
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,200
was riding in the woods
and came upon the house.

169
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,400
He demanded that the butcher open up
his barrels of salt.

170
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,120
When he saw the contents,
Nicholas performed a miracle,

171
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,040
restoring the three boys to life
<font color="

172
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,040
to their astonished parents.

173
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,560
Lucky for them.

174
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,320
The myth also explains
why we now hang pickles

175
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440
or gherkins as Christmas tree
decorations.

176
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Oh, we've got one of them!

Pierce!

178
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:46,360
Yes, It's an unusual derivation,
the pickling or preserving

179
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,280
of children's bodies in salt
or vinegar. Mm.

180
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Did you bring any crisps? I think
we've got some cheese puffs.

187
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,760
Would you be quiet, please?
Sorry?

188
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,520
Would you please stop singing?

Sorry.

192
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,520
I'm just getting in the mood.

193
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,480
I'm looking for somewhere nice
to hang my stocking...

194
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,320
How about round your neck?

195
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,120
Pardon?
Uh, anywhere around the nave.

196
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,520

HE SIGHS

They're a bit laddered
around the gusset,

200
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,480
but you could pop a tangerine in.

201
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,920
That's very kind.

202
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Shall I just hang them on the end
<font color="

Hello?

216
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,160
Only me! Just wondered
if you might like to join us

217
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,680
for a little tot of Bristol Cream,
eh?

<font color="

221
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,920
I used to love it when was a kid.
You still are a bloody kid!

222
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,840
Do you have any children?

223
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,920
No.

224
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,440
No, we don't.

225
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,000
Still, um...believe in Santa
though, don't we?

226
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Well, you know, this church
<font color="

227
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,720
hence the display.

228
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,280
Would you like to hear it?
It does involve a ghost.

229
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,880
Oh, now you're talking.

230
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,920
Hey, Doc, pull up a pew!

231
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,560
I'd rather not,
if it's all the same to you.

232
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,160
Oh, come on! A ghost story
<font color="

233
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,640
I don't believe in ghosts,

234
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,000
and I've no interest in
made-up narratives about them.

235
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,040
I assure you, Doctor,
the events I'm about to recount

236
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,840
are not made up. I know that...

237
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,440
..for certain.

238
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,440
Well?

239
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,760
<font color="
do I?!

240
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,960
Thank you.

241
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,920
The body of St Nicholas,
like all the great saints,

242
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,480
was harvested for reliquaries
and devotionals.

243
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,920
Sorry, you've lost me already.

244
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,360
Relics are the bones or body parts
<font color="

245
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,640
often stolen from tombs
and sold all around the world.

246
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,560
They used to be a big business.
They still are.

247
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000
What would you say
if I were to tell you

248
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,760
that the jawbone of St Nicholas

249
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,960
is hidden in this very building?

250
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,680
<font color="

251
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,720
I can tell you that
it has not yet been found,

252
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:26,240
but I have reason to believe
that it resides here...somewhere.

253
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,560
And why do you believe that?

254
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,520
Because of what I saw
with my own eyes,

255
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,280
five years ago on Christmas Eve.

256
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,800
<font color="

257
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Hold my hand, Pierce.

258
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,000
I'd extinguished the last of
the candles, and I was leaving

259
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,440
with just the light from my
phone screen to see me out.

260
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,080
HE CLICKS FINGERS

261
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,520
Why didn't you turn your torch on?

262
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,200
I didn't know it had one.

263
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000
<font color="

264
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000
Carry on.

265
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,200
I was standing over there
by the pulpit,

266
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,920
and I heard a noise
by the Christmas tree.

267
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,840
I genuinely thought,
"I've really got to be careful here

268
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,360
"because I might end up
<font color="

269
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:16,560
"and they might freeze to death."

270
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,360
We had that in the school
where I clean.

271
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:23,640
A homeless man was living in
the gym equipment cupboard,

272
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,000
sleeping in the vaulting box.

273
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,240
The deputy head had to coax him out
<font color="

274
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,600
and the Sally Army came for him.

275
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Have you quite finished?

276
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,760
Sorry.

277
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,480
I walked over
to the Christmas tree...

278
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,840
..and that's when I saw him...

279
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,080
..peeping out
from behind the branches.

280
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,960
<font color="

281
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,920
His head bowed.

282
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,280
I kept perfectly still...

283
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,120
..but I wasn't expecting what I saw.

284
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:17,000
His head slowly lifted...up.

285
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,320
It was so...

286
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,080
..sad.

287
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,480
An old man, with kind eyes,

288
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,840
but such pain behind them.

289
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,880
<font color="
imploring face...

290
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,040
..there was no bottom jaw.

291
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,400
Just a black lolling tongue,

292
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,680
dangling down into the space below.

293
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,400
It moaned and clacked,

294
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,680
then it started to come towards me.

295
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,200
That's when I ran.

296
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,760
I ran and ran
<font color="

297
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040
and I locked the door behind me.

298
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,680
The next day, Christmas Day...

299
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,880
..when I came back...

300
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,880
..there were footprints.

301
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:27,960
Black, filthy...

302
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,840
..footprints all around the church.

303
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:41,000
I believe that his restless spirit
<font color="

304
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,920
longing to be whole again,

305
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,240
and finally be at peace.

306
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,280
ALARM BEEPS

307
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Right, I'd better be off.

308
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
HE LAUGHS AND CLAPS

309
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,960
That was brilliant! I bet that
shit you up, didn't it, Doc?!

310
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,520
Now do you believe in ghosts?
<font color="

311
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,200
We are pattern-finding creatures,

312
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,920
and we rationalise what we don't
understand with ridiculous stories.

313
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,520
Now if you don't mind,

314
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,200
I'd like to spend the rest
of the evening in my own company.

315
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Is that sherry free?

316
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,400
<font color="

317
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:45,560
HE SNORES QUIETLY

318
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,280
You all right, Po?
Yeah.

319
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Are you thinking about Paisley?

320
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,440
I lit a candle for her.
Aw...

321
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,360
..that's nice.

322
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,320
Be 18 years next Christmas.

323
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,040
I'll book Lapland again.
<font color="

324
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:26,600
I didn't like Dick's story.

325
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,640
Do you believe him?
No, course not.

326
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,800
Just his party piece.
He'll have one for every season.

327
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,080
Be a giant rabbit at Easter,
witch at Halloween.

328
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,520
What's summer?

329
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,840
<font color="

330
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,400
It's just a bloke with trunks on

331
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,480
wandering about with
a bright red face.

332
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,360
A bottle of sunblock.
Yeah, probably.

333
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:50,040
Why, did it spook you?
A little bit.

334
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,160
It's just...

335
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,600
<font color="
and I had the accident...

336
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,240
..something happened
that I never told you.

337
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,920
That night...

338
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,160
..you saw a ghost?

339
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,720
Not really. I was just mopping
the floor in reception

340
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,720
when I saw my mother walk past.

341
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,760
<font color="
"Well, what's she doing here?"

342
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,200
I waved at her,
but she didn't say anything,

343
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,920
just stared at me.

344
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,240
Then, suddenly, she put her hand up
on the glass and started to cry.

345
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,200
Mascara running down her face
in black lines.

346
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,920
<font color="

347
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520
I went to look for her,
but there was no-one there.

348
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,600
That's weird. Anyway, as I was
walking home, I tried phoning her,

349
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,520
and it was as I was dialling

350
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,840
that the motorbike
came off the road and...

351
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,920
<font color="

352
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,560
A few days later, when I was in the
hospital, she came to visit me,

353
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,080
and she told me that that night,

354
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,000
the night of the accident,
she'd had an awful feeling

355
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,760
something bad was going

she put her hand up on the glass,
