| Synopsis: | On the Costa del Mar, Laura and her faithful helper Jaime are struggling to keep their small hotel going. Guests Bernard and Jessie have brought Delia back to her honeymoon hotel of 40 years ago. She and her grandson Gary enjoy speculating about two other rather suspicious guests, Tony and Coral. The fading actress Eva and her secretary Liz arrive, and Miss Burford`s dinner dance gives Eva the opportunity to both avenge herself on her ex-husband and to achieve the publicity she craves. Delia`s attempt to quash Jessie`s pretensions backfires spectacularly, and Laura`s hotel acquires celebrity status at last. | |||||

| Synopsis: | Sisters Jean and Dorothy arrive at their villa, set high in the mountains of Spain and inherited from their late cousin, expecting a peaceful, quiet holiday. An over-effusive Englishman appears, making their acquaintance and welcoming them, but seeming eager to get them to leave, and apparently on excellent terms with the housekeeper, Bridget who, together with a maid and gardener, has been caring for the property. Jean soon has to send for Dorothy`s daughter and her husband, as mysterious events come to a perilous climax, and they discover that their dream inheritance turns into a deadly nightmare. | |||||

| Synopsis: | Cordula and son Peregrine are visiting her aunts, Sophronia and Carlotta, in their dilapidated Grimsdyke Manor. Lottie has taken up spiritualism and brings her friend Deirdre to "experience the atmosphere" and to release the lost spirits, but Sophy sardonically explains that the only spirits there are what the handyman, Creptitude, has left in the cellar. The arrival of Inspector Quirk sets in motion a search for a stolen diamond necklace, with Senor Zaragoza exorcising the tormented souls he senses around him. The discovery of the "Mastermind", the necklace and the key to a fortune in a Swiss bank make for a very exciting and amusing production. | |||||
