In 1992 the BBC, as a part of its Screen One anthology series of made-for-TV films, broadcast Ghostwatch, a mockumentary news investigation into haunted houses featuring real-life BBC on-air personalities. At the time, thousands of viewers tuned in thinking it was real and flooded the BBC's phone lines with complaints and concerns.

Directed by Leslie Manning and created by Stephen Volk, who described the programme as such:

"Ghostwatch was, of course, also about television...

Ruth, the producer, and I discussed how we both felt we could no longer trust what we were seeing, what we were being shown or told by TV. The lines between the once distinct languages of factual and fictional TV were becoming dangerously blurred. Even the CNN Gulf War reports on Newsnight (with the infrared camerawork we duplicated in Ghostwatch) felt suspect, somehow unreliable. What was drama and what was not?"
