Harry Venning at TheStage.co.uk reviewed The Haunted Airman in 2006 when it first aired and thanks to our lovely Phosphorus we got our hands on it :) Here it is:
All of the BBC’s blue filters must have been requisitioned for The Haunted Airman, a very disturbing, beautifully made and satisfyingly chilling ghost story.
Set in a convalescence home for shell-shocked servicemen during World War Two, it starred Robert Pattinson as a wheelchair-bound RAF pilot suffering from trauma, guilt and paranoia. Either that, or he’s actually imprisoned in a private hell run by the devil himself, who sends spiders, birds and the spirits of the dead to torment him. Make up your own mind.

Pattinson - an actor whose jawline is so finely chiselled it could split granite - played the airman of the title with a perfect combination of youthful terror and world weary cynicism. Julian Sands provided creepy support as the oleaginous Dr Barnes, with Rachael Stirling as the airman’s solicitous and attentive ‘aunt’.
Gozde: Mr. Venning had no idea that the "chiselled jaw line" would be famous one day and the photos of the said jaw would be lovingly called "Jaw Porn" :))
