Inside No. 9 - Series 8 - The Bones Of St. Nicholas - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Dr Jasper Parkway has booked an overnight stay in a reputedly haunted church on Christmas Eve. However, much to his dismay, he is soon joined by unwanted guests Pierce and Posy, who have even brought their own sleeping bags. Together with the eccentric warden Dick, it doesn't look like Jasper is going to be lonely this Christmas. Even though sherry, biscuits and Yuletide phantoms are on offer, why is Jasper so keen to be left to his own devices?

Inside No. 9: The Bones of St Nicholas review
All in all, The Bones of St Nicholas is a ghost story, perfect for Christmas. Forty-four episodes in, and Shearsmith and Pemberton can still delight, chill and amuse in equal measure.
