Getting characters like Ebenezer Scrooge to change their ways involves specialist expertise, and no one stages an intervention like the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. But engineering a Yuletide epiphany isn’t as easy as it looks and requires an entire team of back room staff, from maintenance men to cleaners. Can the experts at Ghoulies Inc deliver the Christmas turnaround Jacob Marley wants for his friend?

Successive earls of Soddington have gambled away the family fortune, leaving the ancestral home in a state of significant disrepair. It now falls to Oswald, the 42nd earl, to remedy the situation and turn Soddington Hall back into the glorious mansion if once was. But how to achieve this when he’d much rather sit down with a nice cup of tea and the newspaper?

With advice from an unexpected quarter, Oswald and his wife Cressida embark on a supernatural scheme to swell the family coffers; they open up their crumbling mansion to fee paying ghost hunters. But there’s one slight problem. No one’s ever seen a ghost in Soddington Hall.

Hilarious spectral shenanigans ensue as Oswald attempts to keep his wife happy, motivate his languid son into helping out and save his family pile from the bulldozers. And if that wasn’t enough to contend with, there’s Cressida’s glamorous sister asking too many questions, a psychic investigator with a range of new fangled detecting equipment and a wannabe clairvoyant who can barely communicate with the living, let alone the dead. Plus the butler’s been at the brandy again.

And, as for the twins; well, sometimes the living are scarier than the dead!
