Ghostwatch Page #11

KIM:
Where're we going?

SARAH:
Come on.

SARAH:
Just outside, come on.

Downstairs. Just outside.

Come on.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

KIM:
I don't want to go.

Pipes says we've got to stay.

Pipes wants to see everybody.

Look, everybody wants

to see him.

MICHAEL:
Hopefully,

the children are on their way

out of the house now.

And once they are,

I suppose that'll be the end

of our program, the end of our

Ghostwatch programme.

I hope they...

They are out shortly.

Er, as we wait for them

to come out,

we'll go over

to our phone-in studio.

Mike, what's been happening?

MIKE:
Er, well,

it's understandably

fairly chaotic here.

Erm, we're getting all sorts

of calls.

In Derby, someone was ringing

to say that her clock

had stopped.

MICHAEL:
Again,

a clock stopping.

A Ken and Joyce Shrivener

from Telford in Shropshire,

their radio has gone dead.

And the microwave oven

is pinging repetitively.

Well, where are

they happening?

I mean, is there

a geographical pattern?

How many of these incidents

are there?

I don't know, I don't know

how many of these to take

with a pinch of salt.

Mrs Pinder from Chepstow,

her dog won't stop barking.

Er, in fact, we have

loads of instances

recorded here, this evening,

of pets acting up

all through the programme.

Mr Naro from Cheltenham,

says his son

is making glasses break.

I'm sure we can assume

that many, if not all of

these calls, are jokes.

I'm more interested in

what's happening at the house.

Are they all out yet?

MIKE:
No, no,

wait, wait, wait.

We've got one here that,

erm...

Just in the last few minutes,

a young lady, very distressed,

in response to something

that we showed earlier on.

And she's hung up

before we'd had a chance to

talk to her, so...

The point is,

there's someone here

who could take your call now.

We need to talk to you,

could you call back?

- Can we talk to these people?

-Let's get back to Sarah.

Sarah... Sarah,

are you all right?

Er, I'm s...

I can hardly hear you.

(AUDIO MUTES)

...you can hear

what I'm saying.

Erm,

Suzanne's a lot quieter now.

But, er...

They... They won't move.

They won't listen to me.

I think Suzanne's in...

In some kind

of a state of shock.

What do I do?

I can't leave them.

(LOUD FEEDBACK)

Sorry,

I've got to take this out.

-It's a terrible noise.

-(LOUD BANGING)

(BANGING CONTINUES)

I don't know what's going on.

Can you hear this?

Smithy?

-Michael?

-(FEEDBACK CONTINUES)

Dr Pascoe?

(BANGING CONTINUES)

There are incredible noises

coming from the walls.

And from the ceiling.

(SCREAMS)

-Oh.

-Jesus.

Kimmy. Kim!

-You all right?

-Can't you do something?

(SHRIEKS)

Suzie.

(IN DEMONIC VOICE)

What big eyes you have.

What big lips you have.

PAMELA:
Stop it!

Stop it, Suzie!

Suzanne,

you're coming with me.

Suzanne?

You're coming... Suzanne?

Listen to me, Suzie.

Suzie? Can you hear me?

Suzanne, do you hear me?

(IN OWN VOICE) Yes.

Yes. Get out.

Get out

if you don't want to be here.

I don't care.

You just mess things up.

You mess everything up.

I hate you.

SARAH:
Kimmy!

Kimmy, if you can hear me,

just shout.

Let me know where you are,

so that we can help you.

Kimmy!

(PANTING)

Kim.

Just say something.

Kimmy?

Kimmy!

Kim?

(WATER RUNNING)

It's her bunny.

The fridge.

Kimmy. Come on, darling.

-Hmm?

-Pipes said to do it.

-Why?

-Pipes says he's a bad,

bad bunny.

Here are his eyes.

(CATS SHRIEKING)

What's that noise?

(SHRIEKING CONTINUES)

All right,

where is it coming from?

MICHAEL:
I'm looking.

(RATTLING)

MICHAEL:
This looks

like an earthquake.

(CATS MEWLING)

-SARAH:
Mike...

-(MEWLING CONTINUES)

It's in here.

It's in the glory hole.

SARAH:
Can you just stay back

over there, darling?

Stay... Stay over there.

It's in there.

SARAH:
Okay.

(CATS SHRIEKING)

SARAH:
Just pull it aside.

(SARAH GRUNTS)

(CATS MEWLING)

SARAH:
Shall I get them out

of the kitchen drawer?

(CATS SHRIEKING)

(SARAH GRUNTS)

Take this away. Yeah.

-(CRASHING)

-SARAH:
Mike?

Oh, my God, what's happened?

Are you okay? Look.

Chris, stay there. I'm gonna

go and get help, all right?

-CHRIS:
Okay.

-Just stay there with him.

(SUZANNE SCREAMING)

Suzanne...

SUZANNE:
He's touching me.

Suzanne?

SUZANNE:
He's hurting me.

He's hurting me.

Get off me! Get away!

Get off me!

No! Go away!

Mum, help me!

Don't leave me, Mum! (SCREAMS)

MIKE:
Have we... Have we lost

the link completely?

MICHAEL:
No, there's nothing.

Hang on, yeah, we're on.

MICHAEL:
Please tell him.

We've honestly lost the link?

Well, the red light's on.

We are definitely on.

-Sorry, there seems

to be a bit of a...

-Okay, we can't get it back.

Bit of a bold, in TV speak,

I think we can say.

MIKE:
You must be able

to get it back somehow.

MICHAEL:

Er, we're finding out.

Well, nothing to report so far

from the house.

-Eh...

-It all seems very quiet

and peaceful.

To tell you the truth,

I'm not really bothered.

I didn't really want the scoop

on the Headless Horseman.

I mean, like, where do you

put your microphone?

(LAUGHING)

MICHAEL:
Is somebody speaking

to them? What's everybody

doing up there?

You're following me around,

kids, aren't you?

I think we're off again now.

God. I wish someone

would've said we were on then.

You know,

I'm shouting away and...

Only at the BBC, loves.

-DR PASCOE:
Er, I think...

-What's going on then?

DR PASCOE:
Okay, so somehow...

MICHAEL:
Just a minute. Sorry.

MICHAEL:
We're back.

Back in Foxhill Drive.

-Oh, fantastic.

-DR PASCOE:
God...

MICHAEL:
Still no sound,

but it looks peaceful enough,

doesn't it?

DR PASCOE:
Yes, it does.

MICHAEL:
Where's the soundman?

I assume they've got him out,

actually. Obviously.

And back to... Back to normal.

They look happy.

Mike Smith's right.

He breathes a sigh

of relief, no doubt.

(STAMMERS) Yeah... No,

I'm delighted... I...

I was ready to, erm...

I don't know...

Oh, panic over, hopefully.

Can we see

the rest of the house?

I'm sure we can. I'd like to

talk to Sarah as well.

While we're working on trying

to talk to Sarah again,

perhaps there's time to take

one of those many phone calls

that are stacking up. Mike?

Yeah, I'll be delighted to.

Who is the next caller?

Talk to him...

-Hello. Your name is?

-MAN:
(OVER PHONE)

I don't want to give me name.

But I think I have some

information for you about

the history of the house.

Well, what do you know

about it?

Well, we've been into

all that. We've got the, er,

the deeds and searches going

back to the year it was built.

And the history of the site

as far the Doomsday Book,

and the, erm, the lay lines.

MAN:
Do you know

Mr and Mrs Sellers?

Yes, they're on our list

of tenants.

They lived there in the '60s

I think.

MAN:
Did you know

they sublet a room?

No, I didn't...

I didn't know that.

MAN:
Being illegal,

it wouldn't be on

the official records.

The lodger was their nephew,

Raymond Tunstall.

How do you know him?
