Ghost to Ghost 1997 · date confidence: possible

At 6.1 hours, this is longer than one five-hour show. The closing line calls it one of the best Ghost to Ghost shows, "actually two of them this year," so the file may combine two broadcasts. Its stories need a full check before they can be dated.

This file may combine more than one broadcast (6.1 hours).
