Blurb for the episode

Most Haunted
UK PREMIERE - NEW SERIES
Thursday 4th June, 10pm
S2E1/10. The Tivoli Venue
The legendary team is back with more terrifying adventures, once again travelling up and down the UK to seek out paranormal activity and things that go bump in the night in some of the most haunted historical locations in the country.

With Yvette Fielding at the helm, Most Haunted welcomes new members to the team, including Eamonn Vann-Harris, an Electronic Voice Phenomena specialist, and Glen Hunt, a broadcaster and sceptic. Eamonn brings along with him some new equipment that reads scalar waves - how spirits communicate - and can convert these sound waves into something audible to the human ear. What messages will the team receive, as they merge the Ouija board with this new technology?

In the first episode the Most Haunted team head to the Tivoli Venue in Buckley, North Wales, to investigate the goings on that have seriously rattled the staff. Famous for hosting famous bands including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Coldplay, the venue is also known for its dark history. In 1945 a fire blazed through the top half of the building, killing the projectionist who was trapped inside. Could this be the cause of the suspicious goings on?

The staff at the venue claim to have witnessed many bizarre scenes, from strange figures on the stairs and the image of a hanged man, to seeing and smelling smoke. The alleged paranormal activity is violent, and Yvette and the team are determined to find out what's been going on.

Loved your review Jon.. did sit and watch the show last night...... totally amazing.. Im now a believer... Stu wouldn't put those tears on.... lol not really lol

They did try to at least slightly up their game... with their new equipment but hated the screaming (and yes I know you said we shouldn't moan about Leah, but if you were like her would you do such a show?) ... obviously thats what they wanted just to add some hysterics and 'frighten' people, not me though, just found it annoying.

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

Well Leah is not in Ep4, and in Ep3 she seems totally disinterested, so I wonder if she got bored and quit?
Ep5 is second parter, so at best she will be back for Ep6.

The reason I think it is good to support Leah, is because I know she will get a lot of abuse on Twitter and people taking the piss, and being nasty, and she doesn't deserve that, afterall she is a make up artist thats it, she dont want to be famous, she just on the show cause Yvette needed someone

[girlseeksghosts]

No way would I be horrible about Leah, I just think if you are going to scream and be terrified when the whole premise of the show is 'ghosts' then just don't do it. She is just being used... but like you say if she is no longer appearing not sure if thats her choice or not. Yvette had such fun times with her best mates (the first make up girls) that I think she was just trying to recreate that. Once someone starts screaming, it all becomes chaotic and can make some people believe there was something there.

I've done my fair share of paranormal investigations in the past, nothing scared me whatsoever, but I had been with on occasion some very terrified people whose antics only served to make others believe in it even more. So you're right when you say Yvette just needed someone!

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

I was scared once on an investigation at The Manor House in West brom.
I went up into an antic type room, and there was some kind of model in there of a human from the museum days before it became a pub, no one told me it would be up there, and didn't half make me jump
