Synopsis:

Motley Hall, ancestral home of the Uproar family, is a wonderful, old Elizabethan building. To the casual observer it is unoccupied, but it is actually the home to five ghosts, each from a different era in house's history. All is not cosy amongst the ghosts, however, and they are compelled to get along with each other as best they can - something which becomes increasingly difficult as they try to keep the twentieth century from their doorstep! Presented here is the entire series of 19 episodes (three series and a christmas special).
