The Ghosts of Motley Hall Cast

At the run-down manor of Motel Hall, Sir George Uproar is busy overseeing his fellow ghosts, Bodkin and Fanny, as they attempt to hang his portrait above the fireplace, while the enigmatic White Lady does a spot of haunting. They are interrupted by the arrival of a mischievous new ghost, Matt the stable boy, who has decided to look around the old house before it gets demolished. It seems that the last Uproar, Sir Humphrey, has recently died, and now the ancestral home is to be knocked down by land developers. This news causes consternation amongst the spectres, and so the ghosts of Motley Hall decide to band together to save their home…
