Sir Simon de Canterville has been playing to an empty house for twenty years when American billionaire inventor Hiram Otis buys Canterville Chase in England, taking contents and ghost at valuation. Relishing the opportunity to be back treading the boards, he painstakingly plans a ‘Spectrecular’ performance as Reckless Rupert the headless Earl, aided by his reluctant side-kick, Cesspitt the rat. But his opening night fails miserably and the ghost is forced to retreat from the twins’ tripwire stunt. Sir Simon tries a different tack in the form of Jonas the Graveless but the ghost is further humiliated by the Otis family’s welcoming reception and his inability to terrorize them. Meanwhile, Frank and Theo go exploring and stumble upon their alter egos, Patience and Charity Lovell. After initial hostilities, two pairs become a gang of four. Double double trouble. (thetvdb.com)
