A Christmas Carol

“In just one night, he has seen his past, his present, and his future... and they've all come back to haunt him.”

On Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge (Patrick Stewart) is woken by spirits who take him back through his own life, to his youth, his wasted chances, and the cruelties of his present. He answers to them while his clerk Bob Cratchit (Richard E. Grant) keeps his own modest holiday. David Hugh Jones films the single long night as a stage-bound television drama, trusting Stewart's face to carry it.
