The series are about a series of bizarre events around the phenomena collectively known as ‘The Enfield Poltergeist’ that took place at a council house from August 1977 to 1979.
Let's hope they manage to maintain this level of spooky tension throughout the remaining two episodes, as this could be the best British ghost story we've seen on TV in years.
What marginally elevates the material, albeit in a non-levitating way, are the meticulous attention to detail and realistic performances, including Worthington-Cox as the beset child.
The subtlety is in the interaction between the characters. That may not be enough for viewers expecting either an intellectual puzzle or a thrill ride, but it could scare up some viewers.
The thrill of it all is in the reactions of the spooked, rather than the clever jiggery-pokery that allows furniture to become mobile or a marble to stop dead at someone's feet.
The scares - creepy man appearing in the mirror, trinkets piled in the middle of the sitting room - work nicely and the balance between what could be real and what is imagined in the characters' heads is handled well.
