In 2002 Amber Benson co-wrote and co-created Ghosts of Albion with Christopher Golden. The Ghosts of Albion series is set in 1880’s London and centres around the lives of two siblings, William and Tamara Swift. After two full length animated dramas Legacy and Embers, the adventures continued in an novella Astray followed by two full length novels Accursed and Witchery.
Sadly the animated dramas are no longer available to watch however the good news is that the BBC recently re-broadcast the complete audio performance of Ghosts of Albion – Legacy on BBC Radio 4 Extra a few weeks ago. It is available to listen to on demand online and via the BBC Sounds App for a limited time. I must apologise to fellow fans as due to a number of commitments I was delayed in posting this article and at the time of publication it is available for less than two more days.
Ghosts of Albion – Legacy is the origin story where the audience are introduced to William and Tamara Swift. While on his death bed, their grandfather, Ludlow, tells them they must take over his role as the protector of Albion, which is Old English for England. As the protectors of Albion they must defend England and the world against the demons and dark magic that threaten it.
A top cast includes some well-known names from both film and television.
William Swift played by Rory Kinnear
Tamara Swift played by Jasmine Hyde
Lord Byron played by Joe McFadden
Queen Bodicea played by Emma Samms
Lord Nelson played by Anthony Daniels
Nigel Townshend played by Paterson Joseph

As well as co-writing and co-creating the series Amber also directed Ghosts of Albion – Legacy
