Solid episode that highlights the British tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas. A murder during a ghost tour darkens the festive spirit in the village of Morton Shallows and Inspector Barnaby and his new DS are on the case.

The Swan Princess Christmas (2012)
Apparently, part of a fairly large series of direct to VOD (I assume) that I’m entirely unfamiliar with. I don’t think I’ve been missing anything. 90’s video game quality animation, voice work is OK but there’s an awful lot of kissing in the first few minutes. I didn’t last long but I suppose a little kid with might like it.
