70s or possibly 80s Christmas ghost film

[sp1814]

When I was a kid, the BBC used to broadcast ghost stories around Christmas time.

I have a vague recollection of one which was a story about two Victoria children, and at the end of the story, they were revealed to be ghosts who'd had their hearts stolen.

It scared the bejesus of of me, but I can't now remember what it was called

Any ideas?

"Lost Hearts", written by Montagu Rhodes James, and adapted for the BBC by Robin Chapman in 1973.

Good gracious fanriffic you have a remarkable memory to remember all that way back!! Wish I could - I can't remember last year, leave alone 2006. Or did it make a great impression on you?

Blimey - I have absolutely NO memory f posting that!!!

Thanks all for the replies - now I need to find a DVD of the film to check whether it really WAS terrifying, or whether I was just a wimpy kid.

i remember this from my teenage years,and the fact that it freaked me out completely! always meant to try and find out about it nowadays too. i also remembered that it had a great mandolin ( i think) theme song, and it was brilliant to hear it after all these years,on youtube :-)
