Ghosts of Christmas Past

Series 7, episode 7

Written by David Hoskins, Caroline Graham

Directed by Renny Rye

Originally Aired On: Saturday, 25 December 2004

It is Christmas and the troubled Villiers family gets together nine years after the death of eldest son Ferdy, a magician. A riddle in a cracker predicts that two people will die before midnight on Boxing Day, then the frail Lydia Villiers is hospitalised after a fall. As Barnaby abandons his Christmas lunch with the in-laws to investigate, it seems as though ghosts from the past and cunning sleight-of-hand are haunting the household.
