Urban myths were the stuff of much shared classroom and playground discussion. Listened to with an acute degree of curiosity, laughed at and dismissed, but the stories were secretly stored away and dwelled upon for those moments when walking home alone at night on the empty inner-city streets where myth could somehow, just possibly, slip into reality. Genevieve Joliffe's film, Urban Ghost Story, set in the built up and densely populated Glasgow of the late '90s hits just the right note in this supernatural thriller - a mix of Ken Loach and Glasvegas topical scenarios meeting up with paranormal happenings and you get the picture - and is being shown on BBC2 at 12.50am Friday 29th October.
