Emma Thompson and Paul Murton Remember... The Blue Boy

Emma Thompson and Paul Murton reflect on their shared childhood summers in Scotland and the deep-rooted love of ghost stories that shaped their friendship and creative lives. They discuss The Blue Boy, a film Paul was inspired to write after a spooky experience the pair shared during a late-night lock-in at a haunted inn as teenagers.

The conversation turns to how important the telling of ghost stories has been in their friendship and how magical it was for them to come together to film a ghostly tale of love, loss and grief in a place that meant so much to them both.
