There is a popular perception that January is dead, winter without the festive activity of Christmas and New Years. Trust C. L. Nolan to find the real truth underneath.

I have fond memories of Wellings presenting “Out and About in Hookland” before his Nationwide career. When I was 9 I saw his spectres of Weychester episode. I was afraid to visit the cathedral for many years. A great presenter.

Your memory is better than mine. I do remember his report on The Elephant's Bone pub and the 'most haunted bookshop in England' from his days on Nationwide.
