The Door The plot that underlies The Door is based on a real event that befell a young Austrian woman in Sussex. She later related it to script writer, Gareth Owen who, at the time, was researching ghost stories for a programme he was presenting for the BBC. A charming yet mysterious ghost story set in the late fifties, it tells how a young boy (Tom Moule) falls ill while visiting his grandmother (Estelle Shutkever) at her rather odd house on the Bournville estate in Birmingham, During a feverish dream he imagines himself playing football in the Close with his grandfather and two of his army pals. But is it a dream? Or is there, as his grandmother suspects, more to it than that.
