Polterguests - The ghostly residents of
an old hotel on the children's fantasy POLTERGUESTS/ITV/1999.
The story begins
when Annie Mendelssohn, a former ballet dancer decides to renovate a broken down
hotel. Calling her new venture the Swan Lake Hotel, she takes possession of her
new property and moves in with her ten-year-old daughter, Ella. Soon, Ella
discovers that the hotel is filled with ghosts.
The resident ghosties included:
- Sir Squiffington-Fopp (a.k.a. "Squiffy"), a Georgian dandy.
- Tristan Shout, a
medieval minstrel who loves Elvis Presley.
- Eddie "Kneecaps" McNugget, a
Chicago mobster.
Now, normally, upon discovering that your home was filled with
ghosts, you might want to call for an exorcism to remove these "Polterguests"
but Annie is understaffed and so she hires the ghosts as employees. They get
free room and board and something to do, and Annie gets their promise that they
will curtail their desire to scare the hotel guests.
Of course, you get what you
pay for, and Annie soon realizes that her deal with the ghosts might not have
been the smartest deal she's ever made.
The short-lived minute series (similar to another show called
"Rentaghost") lasted only eight episodes
