A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart)

In 1840s London on Christmas Eve, moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley. In his lifetime, Marley was as mean and miserly as Scrooge is now and he warns him to change his ways or face the outcome in the afterlife. Scrooge dismisses the apparition but the first of the three ghosts, the Ghost of Christmas Past visits him as promised. Scrooge sees those events in his past life, both happy and miserable, that forged his character. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present shows him how many currently celebrate Christmas. The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows him how he will be known once he is gone. To his delight, the spirits complete their visits in one night giving him the chance to mend his greedy ways.
