A Family Activity Pack based on the new film coming this Christmas Eve! Inspired by the 1972 motion picture of the same name and adapted from Antonia Barber’s children’s fantasy novel ‘The Ghosts’, The Amazing Mr Blunden is a new Sky original made especially for Christmas. Adventure arrives for teenagers Jamie (Jason Rennie) and Lucy (Tsion Habte) in the form of a mysterious old man, Mr Blunden (Simon Callow), who offers their mum Christine (Vinette Robinson) the opportunity to become the caretaker of a ruined country house – one that’s said to be haunted. Within its neglected grounds, Jamie and Lucy have an encounter with what appears to be a pair of ghosts. But these kids, Sara (India Fowler) and Georgie (Xavier Wilkins), aren’t actually ghosts. They’ve travelled forwards in time to seek help, believing they’re in danger from the wicked Mr and Mrs Wickens (Mark Gatiss and Tamsin Greig), and Lucy and Jamie’s strange visitor seems to be the key to it all. With his help, they must travel back to 1821 to save Sara and Georgie and redeem their remorseful new friend - The Amazing Mr Blunden!
