Ghosts - BBC

[IllBredHen]

@IllBredHen I completely understand where you're coming from! I also really like that they're a happy couple without kids.

I am a sucker for an epilogue or flash forward and like the idea of a 'next generation' being able to see the Ghosts, but that could easily be a child of one of Mike's sisters - inheriting the home from their aunt and uncle etc.

Yes exactly. Or even Kylie Minogue buying it if they sell. (If you watched the comic relief special )

I sort of hope they are all sucked off and get their final peace. Then Alison and Mike can sell it guilt free and live their best lives on the money

It's officially grey sweatpant season at Button House.

You're gonna have someone's eye out with that Kiell!

ignore my dusty TV screen. I know it needs cleaning

I think Ghosts might be my new favourite show - I laughed so hard I cried at the episode with the burglary. I think it's so cleverly written and acted, and I studied History at uni so this is very up my street.

I've started another rewatch and there's such a difference in how they portray Fanny in series 1 to later series - slightly different wig, less exaggerated mannerisms and facial expressions, different way of walking and looks younger. This isn't a criticism btw, but I guess they wanted to make her character a bit more exaggerated and older as the series went on

I just watched the 2020 Christmas episode and it's so good genuinely cried

I miss Ghosts! Going to have to look on iplayer and re-watch (again!) from series 1. It only gets better with repeat viewings imo.

I was channel hopping the other week before going to bed and saw that it was on, only to discover it was the US version, all the subtlety totally ripped out of it and nowhere near as good

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

I promised myself I wouldn't binge season 4.

I had all 6 episodes watched before I went to bed on Friday night

I can't help it, I just love those idiots.

We might be in store for a mass sucking off!
Jokes aside, I think there are many ways they could end it, will be interesting to see which route they go down. I’m thinking a baby for Alison and Mike and the baby can see the ghosts and it’s an open(ish) ending with most of the ghosts still there and maybe one/two leaving during the series.

Or instead of a mass sucking off, Alison and Mike die somehow and become ghosts themselves?

Bloody love this show. A cave man ghost - hahahahah!!

My husband and I will sound a bit... simple, haha, but everytime we see a full moon we shout Moonah

Has Katy Wix left for good?

I think she must have left for good. I was half expecting her to come back but they made sure that they told her story before she went. I guess there's always the possibility that another person could die and become a ghost

 

[Scotch Mist]

I was reluctant to watch the final episode as I saw a lot of negative comments on social media but I liked the ending. I just wished the episode was longer as it all felt very rushed at the end.

My main bugbear with the episode was that it didn't make me laugh. The humour was lacking.
The plot (or lack of it) wouldn't have mattered if it was funny.

I don't know how true this is, but apparently when Simon Farnarby filmed the Paddington sketch with the Queen, someone overheard her quipping 'he's got trousers on today'. The Queen watched Ghosts, which is everything

Funnily enough the hubby and I were just talking about that sketch earlier tonight. When the Queen passed it was shown on some of the News channels. Hubby doesn't care much for the royals but liked it because Julian, his favourite character in Ghosts is in it. . HM had good taste.

 

[MitziAdele]

Just watched the last episode of series 4. This programme keeps getting better and better. It is amazing how many storylines they manage to cram into 30 minutes.
I especially loved seeing more of Robin and his back story

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

Don't they lampshade this in an episode? I think it's the one where Julian is trying to figure out ghost physics.

I might be misremembering but I think another ghost (possibly Thomas) mentions that none of them understand how they can sit down and that it doesn't really make sense.

Yes, absolutely - Julian can't work out how he can walk through and yet somehow sit down in the same chair, and Thomas is just 'doesn't make sense, does it?'

Tiny little book spoiler

"iceberg-related operational complication" might just be the best way I've ever heard for describing that an iceberg sank the Titanic.

 

[Donnavanessa]

I loved this! This was so good! She's such a good sport is Kylie.

It was really good - love Kylie!

 

[MitziAdele]

Dooka dooka dooka. Moon-ah
i love robin so much

He is a great character, my favourite too. I loved him in the episode where the archaeologists found the other caveman. .....and the episode when we got to see his back story.

 

[bowtiesarecool]

My daughter is obsessed with this. She saw it was on iPlayer this morning and begged me to stay off school to watch it. Absolutely not!

So as soon as she got in, she binged it. Cried lots at the end but I don't know why, as cos I'm only towards the end of series 1, I refused to watch the end!

Have ordered her the book for Xmas. She was a mega Horrible Histories fan and just loves the team in general!

 

[chickhicks86]

He is great, isn't he . Julian is also one of my favourites

I love Robin but also have a soft spot for Pat

Oh they are all lovely, aren't they?? Julian is a bit of an underdog for sure!

Is there going to be another season?

 

[50sGirl]

Maybe it's just easy money? I'm assuming you're talking about the Skipton ads?

I'm sure financially he's ok. Don't forget he's also writing credits for Paddington 2 and Wonka and a load of books and stuff.

You never know though. Do they do it for exposure? Money for another project? Just fancied it? Why does Olivia Coleman, Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Nero do Warburtons ads?

I remember seeing years back an interview Judi Dench did.
I believe she did some adverts for a brand of butter. When asked why she did it, she replied “It paid for this house!”
So it must be pretty lucrative.
