Most Haunted is the brainchild of husband and wife, Yvette Fielding and Karl Beattie.
The main purpose of 'Most Haunted', is for a team of investigators, to spend 24 hours in supposedly haunted locations, to see if they can come face to face with the truth.
The Series one DVD of Most Haunted is packed full of all 16 episodes, as well as a 1 hour special, and 2 compilation episodes.
The Team
Yvette Fielding - Presenter/Executive Producer
... ...At the time of Most Haunted series 1, each Most Haunted Episode was 30 minutes in duration, which is why Levens Hall was a 1hr special at that time ( 1 hour is now the length of Most Haunted Episodes)
Each episode on the disc is the Most Haunted Unseen Broadcast- which extended each episode to 1 hour.
My Opinions

...a superbly detailed history of the FIrst World War which takes you from the reasons why the war began in 1914 right through to the armastice in 1918.
The disks contain 26 individual 45 minute episodes and describes in great detail the battles and outcomes shown in superb (but grainy) b&w film.
