I fell in love with Most Haunted the first time I watched it on Travel Channel (Series 8). I hoped that earlier parts of the series would be shown in re-runs but it has never happened. So I decided to purchase the series from across the pond. I absolutely LOVE series 1. The cross moving at Derby Gaol amazed me. Far better than Ghost Hunters!

I enjoy the Most Haunted series as a whole, as I find that it is informative, thought-provoking, and, most of all, entertaining. In this first series, I get the sense that the production crew are feeling their way into a new television format, as there are investigative methods missing that are used in later series. Nevertheless, it remains quite unique, in my experience, in t.v. programming. Part of the success of the programme is the character and camaraderie of the production crew, who also act as part of the investigative team,which adds to the all-round entertainment value.
Thrills and Chills for the Gullible!

Most Haunted was, at the time of this first series, a fantastic concept for a programme. The places they visit are often wonderfully atmospheric and beautiful in their own right. I bought this as I live in Rye and the Mermaid Inn is one of my favourite haunts (groan). The slightly sad thing is that, as would become so common during the earlier episodes, absolutely nothing happens.
Despite all this, Derek Acorah's so called psychic abilities are hilarious to watch - not just as the information he supposedly gets from 'the other side' (whatever that is) is so easily obtained from just about anywhere (including on the wall in huge painted letters outside the Mermaid Inn as a case in point - but also because his overacted displays of 'possession' are quite clearly ludicrous. Yvette is great fun to watch and this series does at least feel as though they are trying to genuinely capture something. In later series the obviously faked antics spoil it all; I guess because they realised that unless somebody did something to spice it all up it was going to become too dreary even for scary music and screaming every time someone has a moth fly into them.
Watch and enjoy these programmes without any questions as to why the cameras NEVER show a complete picture of a whole room, or object being moved; without any acknowledgement that all the supernatural nonsense has been comprehensively debunked by people like James Randi and Derren Brown; and you might have a fun evening's viewing!
Oh, and for the millions of totally gullible people who seem to fall for every trick in the book, no matter how daft, check out the vintage footage on YouTube of how Johnny Carson exposed spoon-bender Uri Geller on his show in the early 1970's for the fake that he is. If you're still a "believer" in all this after that then there's truly no hope for you!
Thanks for the laughs Yvette and the gang - despite all this I enjoyed it!
Spooky nights in.

I bought this for my missus and when she saw she turned her nose up but once she had watched the first show she made me sit with her for the rest of the week in bed at night watching them. So top dvd if you like this sort of thing.
