EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Most Haunted S02E06 (Wentworth Wood House Part 1)

After the clusterf*ck that was my Episode 5 review, I was so close to just deleting everything Most Haunted related from the site, but alas here I am once again sat in front of the computer, watching this decaying horse corpse nonsense people like to call Most Haunted.

Seriously this is the absolute lowest form of entertainment. Just think about it for a moment, it is a pretend investigation into something that doesn't exist in the first place. At least Pro Wrestling is pretending to be an actual thing, and you have to have charisma, athleticism and a good body to be a star. Most Haunted is copying something that isn't real in the first place, and we are idiots for watching it! And what's worse than that, it is not even entertaining, the only entertaining person ever on the show was Derek Acorah, and even the so called Skeptics on the show were all being directed by Karl Beattie. Anyway the official blurb is below.

Thursday 9th July, 10pm
S2E6/10. Wentworth Wood House Part 1
Really’s terrifying series continues with Yvette Fielding and the team heading to Wentworth Woodhouse, the largest privately owned house in Great Britain. The paranormal activity is said to range from reports of a headless ghost on the stairs, to the echoes of children laughing and whispering, and even an operatic singing voice being heard. Yvette has a strange feeling they're being followed while Karl and Stuart experience something like never before.

Right, let me just double check this isn't me watching episode 4 again? Nope, it is definitely episode 6 due to air in the UK on 9th July. How sad is it that it took me 20 minutes to realise I had already seen it, just goes to show how repetitive and tedious Most Haunted is.

I really hope Leah Walton is back, after going missing, I can only think the worst for her.

As always skip the first 5 minutes unless you get off on nonsense waffle about and old building, purely designed to precondition the view into believing the rubbish you will see later on.

Do watch out for this guy, who for his entire interview does not blink once! Seriously, his eyes are like that all the time, claims he has seen ghosties and so on, I think it's a different kind of spirit he has been looking at.

We get the early interview with the King of Smirks, The Smirkster, Mr Smirktacular himself Glen Hunt. I have to admit early on I didn't like him, he was being advertised as the resident Skeptic, when in reality he is just some crappy local radio DJ desperate to get on TV, HOWEVER his smirking skills have kind of won me over. We are talking 24/7/365 for this guy.

I heard a rumour that he got fired from his previous job as a funeral director, I guess there comes a time when smirking in public really isn't acceptable. While talking to Yvette he asks a good question regarding the "headless" ghost that walks the halls of Wentworth Wood House, he asks why a headless man would walk down stairs. Yvette does her best to answer, but fact is if ghosts were real, (they are not), a headless one has no reason to walk down stairs. I've always wondered how it is that ghosts can walk on the floor, make footstep noises, yet cant move a physical object on command in a controlled setting! Perhaps the answer is that GHOSTS DO NOT EXIST YOU PATHETIC STUPID CHILD!

Anyway more Glen, Yvette and Mr Moneybags Fred Batt are wondering about, this is the part where Fred gets his contracted few minutes to promote himself and talk a load of crap. Surely Fred realises that Karl and Yvette are only using him for his money. Maybe he does understand that but justifies it by getting himself on TV?

Stuart checks the floor for signs of ghost termites

Anyway the cameras have their little green filters added, Yvette pretends that it is now dark. A shiny bald head of Stuart is now with them. No sign of Leah at all, so guessing she is done with the show, She managed a mighty 3 episodes! Poor girl!

21 minutes in and we get our first ridiculous scream from Yvette after she hears her own sweaty fart and thinks it was a ghost. With all her layers on, that smell will surely escape after a few minutes.

Yvette starts to talk to the ghosts that do not exist, I hope she tells them to make a noise with their voice. Still the dumbest thing anyone has ever said.

24 minutes in and I am now officially bored shitless, although as Yvette starts singing out in the hope that the ghosts will reply to her, it kinda looked like Stuart had entered her.

Nothing much is happening, Karl keeps trying to claim the ghosts are making knocking noise, while suspiciously moving his leg up and down!

Glen is really wishing he had worn a coat, and that brings us to this weeks COATWATCH! As you can see from the above image, we have the idiot hipster in some weird coat, Yvette in her classic Fart Capturer coat, and Fred in his Tweed moneybags coat.

Not sure if it is cause he is so cold, or he just likes to play with himself, but Glen Hunt constantly has his hands in his pockets.

There is a quite funny sequence of events whereby Karl and Stuart are in a room, and doors keep slamming shut whenever the camera is not pointing at them, and the doors have no handles, and are now locked and they cant get out! Just imagine the idiots at home lapping this all up. Remember folks, health and safety rules TV! That's another way you know it is all faked.

I have to say this is a rather poor episode. 36 minutes in and other than a couple of doors closing, nothing has happened. The lack of Leah Walton is glaring once again, But we all know Yvette has to be centre of attention, and since everyone liked Leah, it was only a matter of time before she had to go.

That awkward moment when it is supposed to be 

pitch black & they show Stuart filming with his light on

Yvette offers the ghost child some sweets in a rather disturbing way, Jimmy Saville must be wanting his gimmick back.

With us reaching the end of the episode, some small piece of concrete or something is thrown, OFF CAMERA of course. Glen is smirking.

Eammon is back with his laptop and other electronic nonsense. I am sure I could hear Ruth spinning in her grave.

Another thing is thrown, this time I would guess it was the hipster who is joining in on the silly-ness.

Karl Beattie tries out a new pose

Glen tries out a new type of Smirk

And with that we get some "next time on Most Haunted" clips, which make you wonder why none of that wasn't included on this episode.

Overall a terrible terrible episode. Only Glen Hunt and his perpetual smirking kept me interested.

Until next time. Sleep tight, because you have no reason not to, as THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS!!

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Most Haunted S02E05 (Fort Paull Part 2) The one where I didn't realise I was watching episode 4 again!

In the previous episode (the one where nothing happened) the highlight, or low light of the episode was when Yvette witnessed Karls withered wrinkly, barely there penis, which left her in fits of terror, tears pouring down her face, and in pain after running into a door and hurting her leg. Luckily Leah was not on that episode, so she was spared the horror, will she be back this week? Will we be able to continue with our ever popular feature of "Coatwatch" or will we be left with an hour of idiots wandering about, pretending to be in the dark (we know its a filter guys, we can see your shadows!). I think we can safely assume which.

Anyway here is the official blurb for the episode!

Thursday 2nd July, 10pm
S02E05/10. Fort Paull Part 2
Really’s terrifying series continues as Yvette Fielding and the team spend a second week at Fort Paull. The team are wary of what they will encounter next. There’s a sinister atmosphere as they walk through the tunnels, hoping to find the ghosts that may reside there…the EVP machine will later reveal the hidden messages undetected by the human ear, just who is trying to contact the team?

We start off with Yvette stood outside

That is what in the business is called the "Glamour opener", basically that is where they put the prettiest staff member, in the most interesting location, as a pull, or a "get", for views just changing channels at the beginning of an hour. And if Yvette stood in a field, in big coat doesn't grab you nothing will!

Remember they had Mel Crump and they let her go! Just imagine if it was the Crumpster stood there, in a fitted pant suit, or smart shirt, just a hint of cleavage, and her glorious flowing locks, waving in the wind, suddenly some hair goes in her face, she casually moves it away with her hand, while continuing her piece to camera, in the back ground, an eagle swoops in and out of shot, while majestic music plays. No instead we get a grubby looking Yvette with her god awful fringe, stood in a field looking like a homeless gypsy. Oh well.

We get the usual recap, and history lesson. We are told how "amazing" this location is, and how many people have seen spirits. Of course no footage exists.

Glen is back, and damn he is smirking really hard today, beads of sweat are running down his forehead as he goes full on hard smirk.

Smirking Hard!

This guy smirks harder and faster than anyone I have ever seen in my life. Yvette is clearly interested and impressed by his smirking skills. I have even heard from my sources that he can smirk with both sides of his mouth! And even it has been said he can smirk with both sides at the same time! This guy could literally be the smartest or the dumbest person in the world, and I would have no idea, as his smirk just distracts you from anything he says. I feel sorry for him when he has to go to serious events like funerals though, cause damn if he is sat there and whips out a quick smirk, it would be hard to hide it, he would have to go to the bathroom and have a quick smirk there before the event to hopefully get it all out of his system. He can control his smirking now, but when he was a kid at school, I know he would sometimes have to smirk right in the middle of a History lesson, and how embarrassing that would be. But it happens to all of us, that uncontrollable urge to smirk, sometimes you could hide a smirk behind your belt, but that would depend on the size of the smirk. You girls have now idea of the struggle!

ACTUAL photo of Glen Hunt post smirk

Anyway so much smirking and we are now getting on with the investigation. Fred Batt is quick to get his face on camera, afterall its all his gig, his dosh, so he is gonna get in the frame front and centre, IT'S IN HIS CONTRACT PEOPLE!

Anyway.... As expected no Leah again, surely Yvette didn't get rid of her after just 3 episodes, Leah not seen in episode 4, and not in this episode 5. And no replacement either. I honestly dont think Yvette could find a woman in the world who wouldn't be more popular than her on the show. Maybe Rose West?

Eammon is back, and he is talking nonsense, still no sign of Ruth which is a shame. Can someone tell Eammon that his fancy EVP machine is a big pile of steaming crap, that has NOTHING to do with the paranormal, and 100% of everything is picks up is understood and explainable by someone with just an ounce of knowledge in the fields of radio waves etc.

If I am rambling a bit, its cause we are 16 minutes in, and I am already bored to death, and I am desperately trying to entertain myself.

Hopefully Stuart will start throwing stuff around soon.

You know I dont know what is sadder, the fact that I am sat watching Most Haunted, and writing about it, or that I am sat watching Most Haunted, writing about it, and I can see the sea!

Hang on a second, either they just replayed an entire segment from last weeks episode by mistake, or this is episode 4, and I didn't realise I am watching the same episode again!

Yep it's episode 4, For some reason I have episode 4 as episode 5 on the review DVD.

And it took me 20 minutes to realise I was watching the same episode again! Just goes to show how utterly boring, tedious and similar each episode is.

Oh well, that will be the end of this review! No idea if I will ever review the real episode 5, at least I have an excuse to stop watching now. Sorry guys. No spoilers, no review.

Well since this has a been a total waste of mine, and your time sadly, here is something way more interesting, yesterday I visited a little harbour town in Greece, and I was walking along the wall, and when I looked down, this ugly Muther was just sat on the rocks!

I'm convinced it is an alien, but I am sure there will be big nasty skeptics out there to say I am wrong, so please if anyone can give me a proper identification, I would appreciate it. I have had a few people say on Twitter (@JonDonnis) what it is, but I am still convinced it ate its way out of some ones chest before killing a load of people on a space ship, and then somehow ended up down here.

That is all from me, sorry for the clusterf*ck of a review. We all make mistakes, especially when trying to watch something as tedious as Most Haunted

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Most Haunted S02E04 (Fort Paull Part 1) The one where absolutely nothing at all happens.

I just cant stop! I have to watch Most Haunted, not because I want to, not because I need to, but because I HAVE to! Some many people have told me that my reviews are not only better than the show, but also means people can spend ten minutes reading my review and then not bother having to watch the show! I am literally saving peoples lives! (well about 35 minutes) and those people are able to do other things! So to them I say "You're welcome"

Anywho onto the official blurb for Episode 4

Thursday 25th June, 10pm
S2E4/10. Fort Paull Part 1
Really’s terrifying series continues as Yvette Fielding and the team travel to Fort Paull in Kingston-Upon-Hull, a historical site which dates back to before the English Civil War.

Paranormal activity has been said to wreak havoc at the fort and many visitors describe being faced with a sinister black mass emerging in the dark tunnels, that blocks them from exiting. Most frighteningly, people allege to have been grabbed by unseen hands in the darkness.

As the team split up to investigate one group heads to the train carriage where they experience something like never before, just what is making the temperature change so drastically? Meanwhile, something makes Yvette shake to her very core and causes her to let out a bloodcurdling scream!

After reading the blurb, I start watching, and in that annoying first 30 seconds of the show, I heard that Bloodcurdling scream! I can only imagine that Yvette finally gave in and agreed to give Karl felatio, and that is her reaction after seeing his withered old penis for the first time in 20 years. Hopefully we will be spared such a view.

Actual photo of Karl Beattie. Honestly!*

Anyway the show is now underway and Yvette is giving us the usual boring history lesson, and mentions Elvis Presley once sat in a train carriage she is in! Please god I hope they dont speak to Elvis!

We are introduced too Jenny Bryant a "Paranormal Investigator" (bored middle aged housewife) from GCUK, if you have never heard of GCUK and why would you, they are a silly little company that do ghost hunts and charge gullible idiotic people to sit in the dark and pretend they are Yvette Fielding etc. And yes the Most Haunted crew including Yvette often goes on their investigations. Please never waste a penny on them, they really have no clue what they are doing.

Jenny is the one on the left.... I think.

Jenny tells us of all these amazing experiences with ghosts that her and her team have had, and of course there is no video evidence or proof. Having her appear was purely as a way to give her group a free plug.

Yvette then interviews Smirking Glen Hunt, who starts off with his "Skeptical" opinion, while smirking hard, he likes to smirk, sometimes he smirks 4 or 5 times a day, he is a legendary smirker, he really does like a good long hard smirk, usually in the dark with the door locked shut. I heard a rumour he once got disturbed while smirking, and he twisted a testicle!

Having a quick smirk

Fred Batt is once again part of things, since he is paying for it all. Reckons he can feel the demonic presence of the ghosty whosties. And he is gonna summon them up later on! Lucky us!

We also have Eammon and his EVP machine, no sign of Ruth which is a shame.
Eammon has about as much credibility as Karl's claims of being a Samurai!

No sign of Leah in this episode yet, I did mention that she looked totally disinterested in Episode 3, so maybe she did the smart thing and quit while she was ahead. Such a shame as I was quite looking forward to the weekly instalment of "Coatwatch"

Such an attractive crew

The investigation is now fully underway. And not a lot happening other than people calling out to the ghosties, Stuart actually says "This could be the calm before the storm".

Half way through the show and Stuart seems to be suspiciously well behaved, I can only assume it's cause he in a team with Glen Hunt, or he is building up to a big stunt, I hope he is as so far this episode has bored me solid!

For the next 8 minutes of the episode, absolutely nothing happens, the just wander about! Really! This was the absolute best use of footage they could find! Just imagine the countless hours of crap they filmed if this was the best they could come up with.

Yvette shouts her classic line of "Can you make a noise with your voice please!" Always makes me chuckle, Imagine the ghost was just about to make a noise with his arse and drop a spirit fart, and then Yvette says that and he now has to hold it in!

35 Minutes into the episode and absolutely nothing of note has happened. Seriously, nothing at all.
Please tell me they haven't done one of those "nothing happens which proves when it does its not us faking" type episodes.

Ok to be fair, Glen has a thermometer laser thingy, and the temperature of a window is going down. Of course no control measurements have been done, they have not told us of the ambient temperatures outside, the time of year, the time of the evening and so on. Not to mention use a second machine to confirm the results of this machine, what if that machine is simply faulty! Afterall you cant see the breath of anyone in the crew. Karl is wearing a light jumper, yet this thermometer is showing the temperature has dropped about 7 degrees to 0 degrees Celcius. This kind of ineptitude and ignorance of how to conduct an investigation is what pisses so many people off.

Yvette on narration even states that every scientist knows that a drop of more than 2 degrees Celsius in a short period of time is significant, yet they don't use any scientific methology in what they do, which means any results they get, even if genuine are instantly useless!

As we get to the end of the episode, Karl and Yvette break off together and go to investigate a room, it is at this point that Yvette sees Karl's withered penis and runs off screaming whereby she hurts her knee and arm by running into something, she breaks down in tears and tells Karl to turn off the camera.

We get some brief highlights of all the things that have just been boring us, wow, this was a poor episode, and even Yvette hurting herself after seeing a horror that hopefully few ever have to see, could save this episode. And since this is a two parter, I am guessing Leah wont be in part 2 either. So that is another reason not to watch.

One of the worst episodes ever. When the highlight of an episode is Yvette hurting herself after seeing a withered unused penis, you know the show is gonna struggle in the ratings.

Really folks that's it, I am signing off now, and seriously considering my priorities in life.

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Most Haunted S02E03 (Annison Funeral Parlour) The one where I rolled my eyes at Karl's acting

Guess who's back, back again Jonny's back, tell a friend.
Yes it's me, it's me, its that J O double N, back once again to review and recap another episode of Most Haunted. This week Scooby and the gang are at the Annison Funeral Parlour. Below is the official blurb for the episode

Thursday 18th June, 10pm
S02E03. Annison Funeral Parlour
Really’s spooky series continues, as for the first time ever, Yvette Fielding and the team visit a funeral parlour and one which is apparently the most haunted place in Hull.
The building is empty now, but not quiet according to visitors, as people have reportedly heard whistling, knocking, and heavy booted footsteps. Yvette has an idea that the team aren’t necessarily going to like… one person must lie on the mortuary slab alone to see what happens – but who will pick the short straw and have to lay lifeless without the rest of the team?


We start off the episode and straight off we get this legend!

Yes he is a local historian, he just ouzes the kind of charisma that you just cant buy! Look at that neckbeard! Imagine the lucky woman who gets to snap up this fascinating man!

Anyway as usual we get our usual history lesson, and Glen "Mike" Hunt, the resident wannabe is on hand to smirk his way through every scene, I wonder if Karl directs him to smirk, or if it is all him.
He does do his best to be skeptical the poor guy, but after him blatantly doing the "ghost whistle" in the last episode, it is hard to take him seriously.

Surely his agent told him that to appear on Most Haunted would be the first step in becoming a proper TV star, and young naive Glen believed him.

Quick reminder that the legendary Mel Crump is no longer on Most Haunted, and is replaced by Leah Walton, again we support Leah, as she is clearly the only genuine member of the whole crew, and probably didn't even want to be on the show, but got shoe horned into appearing by Yvette who was desperate to get rid of the glamourous Mel Crump and needed a replacement she could push around.

Mr Deep Pockets or Fred Batt as some will know him is about again, throwing his money about in the hope he might get recognised one day in the street.

Since they are in a funeral home, I have a feeling we will see Karl or Stuart or both shoved in a coffin for a "vidgual" oh boy that will be so much fun, you can only hope a grave digger is near by and "accidentally" gets the coffins and buries them.

And no quicker than me finishing the previous sentence, and Eammon (no not that one) is invited to lie in a coffin, and they even close the lid on him, what would Ruth think of all of this sillyness!!

Is this not entertaining?

Poor Eammon, literally will do anything to get an extra 30 seconds TV time, even if it is in a coffin, they turn the lights off and leave him in the coffin. They really need to nail it shut, and maybe then we'd never have to listen to him drone on about EVPs the uneducated ignorant fool that he is!

With a bit of standing about, they finally go to rescue Eammon from his coffin, but when they open it, he is mysteriously gone, and all that is left is a rattlesnake!! Only kidding, he is still in the coffin with a big grin on his face.

Finally the filters are put on the cameras to pretend it is night vision, and the investigation starts proper.

Karl is looking quite hefty for a fake Samurai. Glen is stuck with Karl and Stuart now, hands in his pockets and a constant smirk on his face.

Yvette is with Leah and some other bloke who looks ridiculous.

The lads are doing some kind of ridiculous table nonsense, asking for knocks from the ghosties, gotta be careful here that Karl and Stuart don't both tap their feet, to make the knocking sounds, need only one otherwise it gets confusing.

Yvette is with Eammon in the "hub", and they are examining the EVP machine. Did I mention that EVPs are evidentially worthless, and to even waste one second listening to them proves you have no idea what you are doing?

I think Leah is starting to get bored of it all now, and is dreaming of going on her summer holiday to Majorca or somewhere. In Coatwatch, Leah is sporting a nice simple coat, without fur.

It is now Ouija time! Just a note, in 12+ years of doing Ouija Boards on Most Haunted, it has never produced a single credible result, and any time that they put in cheating controls it has showed clearly that Yvette pushes the glass. So of course NO controls whatsoever are used

Aaaahhhh look at Glen and his little smirky face, wishing he could say out loud what we all know.

Yvette and Karl are so blatantly taking turns in pushing the glass, they don't even bother trying to hide it any more. Come on Glen, suggest that everyone is blindfolded, and it will stop working and you will have proven that they are faking it.

The entire Ouija scene is quite mind numbingly boring. At least when Stuart used to take part he would do some proper fakery, like picking up the glass and throwing it, and hoping it wasn't caught on camera, but when it was, he tried to make out he was possessed! Oh the good old days.

Worth saying that my DVD keeps skipping and jumping, it MUST be the ghosts! They have travelled through time and space to my DVD player! This is 100% proof of the paranormal, and therefore I am closing down the site! Oh wait its playing fine now. Site will remain open!

The 3 stooges, Yvette, Karl and Stuart are now off on there own, and something nasty is on its way! No Yvette hasn't farted again, its the spirits! Karl proudly states "I'm not psychic as you know but..." they then start talking about a murderer called Frederick. Karl decides to stand in the coffin, please lie down Karl, and please lets close the lid.

Yay! Karl is never one to miss a trick.

And now Stuart is gonna put the lid on as Karl tells Frederick to do his worse!

All starts to get a bit silly now as Karl panics and jumps out of the coffin claiming he heard a voice say "OUT". Terrible acting.

Karls fake Samurai training has totally deserted him tonight. Glen and Leah join them, and Glen is smirking.

Fred is off on his own to spend some time in the embalming  room. Karl and Stuart are off together, and ask the spirits to make some noises. They hear a knock. Whereas Fred on his own is speaking in Latin to the ghosts, who duly ignore him, right until Fred makes a noise followed by saying "what was that" when obviously HE made the noise, As usual the camera never gets anything other than the persons face who is holding it, or a blank wall.

Stuart asks the ghosts to give Karl a slap round the face, sadly and disappointingly the ghost doesn't take up the challenge.

Stuart is out of breath after having a crafty wank off camera, and has to have a puff on his inhaler. Soon after they hear a noise upstairs and rush to see what is going on. And despite there being a sold camera filming, it has caught nothing, Stuart is still knackered after his crafty wank, and now Karl is feeling knackered as well. So they head off to join the others.

But then we get some footage of a chair moving on its own! BLATANTLY being pulled by some fishing wire, seriously no one will think it is real, I genuinely coughed a bit of spit up it is so awful.

Eammon is still listening to EVPs, all very silly and pointless. I imagine noobs and woos the world over loving the EVP sillyness.

Leah has had a very very quiet episode, clearly she cant be bothered any more, either that or Yvette realised that she would probably get popular, so decided to cut out any good bits featuring Leah.

And that's it, the episode is over.

Things to look out for are the ridiculous chair pulling scene, and Karl jumping out of the coffin. Other than that its about 45 minutes of snore time.

That's all from me, and until next time sleep tight and don't let the spiders climb in your ears!

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Most Haunted S02E02 (Tatton Old Hall) - The one where not a lot happens.

Yes I am back with another WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review and Spoilers of Most Haunted, this time we are on episode 2 of the new season at Tatton Old Hall.

Before I get started I wanted to address a few people who moan about my grammar in these pieces. This is just my site, I write as I feel, and I make no money from doing this. I have limited time to do anything these days, so instead of concentrating on the odd typo or grammatically incorrect sentence, just try and enjoy my reviews for what they are. The world is already full of pedants, don't be a twat and moan about stupid stuff. That's my job! :D

Here is the official blurb for the episode.

Thursday 11th June, 10pm
S2E2/10. Tatton Old Hall
Really’s terrifying series continues as Yvette Fielding and the team return to the Old Hall at Tatton Park in Cheshire, a location notorious for the unexplainable events that occur there.

Built in the 15th Century the house’s previous residents and visitors claim to have experienced a frightening strangling sensation or to have heard a guttural growling noise in their ears. From the ghostly tales there appear to be two eerie presences at the hall, the first is an unknown woman who has allegedly been seen on many occasions, and most alarmingly, a ghost called Tom, who has a dark reputation. Can they finally uncover the identities of these two figures?

--

As I mentioned in my review of episode 1, Mel Crump is gone, and her replacement is Leah Walton. I want to say again here at BadPsychics we support Leah and we encourage all of the BadPsychics readers to do so as well. She is the only genuine person on the show, who isn't in it for the fame and she is paid less than anyone else. So if you see anyone out there giving her grief on social media, stick up for her, remember we like to stick up for the underdog here, and no one likes a bully.

On to the episode and we start off with the usual history lessons and so on, I prefer to skip past this bit, as really doesn't interest me.

Skeptic and wannabe TV star Glen Hunt starts off talking with Yvette, and is trying to dispel Yvette's fears about the hall. Yvette has investigated Tatton Old Hall 4 times in the past, ad Glen tells her to forget everything she has done before, has that can influence her.

Glen does give some good advice to his credit, but his smirk is so annoying, that and the fact we all know he is being directed by Karl, kinda makes his whole spot on the show and utter waste of time.

Eammon Van-Harris is back with his EVP nonsense. We also have Mr Moneybags Fred Batt mooching about too.

As they are just talking, off camera right near where Karl is stood there is suddenly a noise. Instantly Glen has a look on his face of "seriously guys stop taking the piss".

Karl waits for everyone to look away and then does it again. Poor Glen he wants to be a TV star and he is forced to put up with this nonsense.

Here is a quote from Glen "It always seems to happen just as I am not looking"!

Yep there is a reason for that Glen. I wonder how long he will last on the show, as surely he gonna admit the show is faked on his radio show or something.

Yvette now starts talking to the ghosties, who reply to her questions with knocks. I wonder where Karl and Stuart are at this point? Glen still cant stop smirking, he knows what's going on, but cant really accuse anyone cause he has to protect his pay check, and that is the biggest problem with having any skeptic on the crew.

It seems apparent very quickly that things will keep being thrown off camera, usually right near where Karl is stood. Of course no video footage, nothing! This is why people hate Most Haunted so much, cause the fakery is so obvious.

No sign of Leah Walton yet and we are 16 minutes in.

Over to Eammon and his ridiculous and utterly pointless EVP machinery, and surprise surprise he already has some ghostly sounds, of course all are easily explainable by anyone with half a brain, but of course the random noises are met with amazement and so on.

We finally get the investigation started proper, green filters added to cameras to make it seem darker than it is, and we finally get the addition of Leah.

In our regular segment of "Coatwatch", Leah is sporting a much simpler coat compared to Episode 1, a lot less fur it seems.

"Sssshhh what was that"

You know I really hate it when Yvette says that.

It has also become clear that Leah has her own catchphrase of "f*ck me", it does get bleeped out though.

Poor Leah is terrified as usual. Yvette obviously loving the fact she has Leah there to wind up and make look foolish.

And we now get a ridiculous minute of Yvette and Leah running about outside in the dark, scared of the ghosties and the noises that the EVP machine makes. The only thing moving back faster than Yvette and Leah is Karls hairline! So with them running about like children, we cross to Karl with his declining hairline, and he is talking to himself in the dark.

Did you know he once pretended to be a Samurai! Yes really! Then all these Samurai experts called him a fraud and exposed him. Google it if you want a laugh, it is all quite funny. Of course this was before his Most Haunted days.

We've not seen Stuart yet strangely. I hope he does get featured at some point as not the same without him throwing stones about.

There is actually a moment here whereby Karl switches the light off on his camera when he wants to film himself, then needs to turn it off again when he films elsewhere, but claims it is the infrared is is switching on, yet clearly there are shadows, and they are really just using filters!

If you believe for one moment that it is genuinely dark, just remember we live in a health and safety industry, no one they would be allowed or get insurance to wonder about in truly dark conditions!

Wow this episode is boring, although Stuart has now appeared so hopefully he will throw out some tears again, fall over or so something interesting.

Everyone is in a room, and Yvette hears a whistle, yet on the replay I swear it looks like Glen did it, watch it if you can closely.

Then a spoon gets thrown in a hark back to the glass spoon throwing incident of the past (that was also Karl)

As usual no video of the spoon or any cutlery from start to end is shown.

So they decide to start throwing cutlery down a hall way and ask the ghosts to throw it back, when this doesn't work, back to whistling at the ghosts. Again nothing happens, so they split up to do separate investigations.

Blimey this episode is hard to watch, so tedious.

Stuart on his own in a room, and clearly throwing stuff around. Sometimes less is more Stuart you really need to learn that!

Some more sillyness with the EVP machine, usual audio pareidolia whereby someone says what they thing it sounds like, and then you feel like you can hear the same words, but even then its a real stretch. Basically they just seem to get a lot of screeching background noise, if that impresses anyone, then I really think you need your head examined.

Towards the end of the episode a chair seemingly falls, although as usual you don't see it on camera, and only Stuart is there, why wouldn't they just put say 20 stationary cameras all around the location? Instead they just carry hand held cameras and film themselves most of the time.

Surely the whole Blair Witch style of filming is a bit old now people!

Either way the episode finishes, with nothing of interest caught on camera, and a complete waste of 46 minutes of my time.

I'm off to the pub, I need a beer after that!

Worst episode in a while!
