Christmas Special 2023: Count Magnus (2022) with Dr Sorcha Ní Fhlainn

BONUS - COUNT MAGNUS (2022) Seasons bleedings! For this year's Christmas Special we have Mark Gatiss's adaptation of M.R James' famous story, Count Magnus, as part of the BBC's annual A Ghost Story at Christmas tradition. In this spooky tale, an English writer (Jason Watkins) visits Sweden and becomes intrigued by a mausoleum containing a tomb covered in heavy chains... PLUS - we have some hilariously awful vampire jokes and a special quiz with our guest under the spotlight! And making another return for this festive edition of the podcast is university lecturer, author, and vampire expert Dr Sorcha Ní Fhlainn....
