This Country stars Daisy May and Charlie Cooper have been commissioned to make paranormal fact ent show, NightWatch, for BBC2.
The 6×30 series will be produced by the pair’s indie, So Humble.
The series will reunite the siblings on screen through their mutual and lifelong passion of all things paranormal. The pair will be locked in together – overnight, in some of the spookiest and reputedly most haunted places in the country. Their mission will be to stay from dusk till dawn, hopefully alone.
From centuries-old castles to abandoned Victorian prisons, each episode will begin with a tour from the building custodian, who will reveal all the spooky stories and chilling incidents reported at the location over the years. The history of each place will be carefully uncovered, “revealing the past in all its gory and fascinating detail.” They’ll then be left to their own devices from midnight – “What secrets will be uncovered and will they still be talking to each other as dawn breaks?”
Catherine Catton, BBC Head of Factual Entertainment and Events comments, “We are really looking forward to spending the night with Daisy May and Charlie Cooper in some of the UK’s spookiest places.”
Lisa Clark, Executive Producer, comments: “Working with Daisy May and Charlie in some of the spookiest buildings in the UK was terrifying – but also a lot of fun.”
Daisy May and Charlie comment: “We’ve both had a brush with the paranormal, and really do love the concept of life after death, so we thought this could be the perfect way to prove to the world that we’re not delusional. It will be a miracle if we both come out alive and well.”
