Ghosts - BBC

[Vanillaco]

loved the episode where we found out how Thomas died it was tragic and tragically funny
Really hope it comes back for a 3rd series

The Thomas Thorne affair was genius. It was so well done. I live Ghosts. Definitely the best thing on TV

Has Katy Wix left for good?

 

[FrankieDoyle]

This show is brilliant....I love it. I hope they make more.

 

[Vee6]

Omg. Broken.

 

[MitziAdele]

I sit here waiting patiently on the book being released on the 26th..

Andrew- do you mean Thomas?

And wasn't Robin hit by lightning while hiding from a bear? It's why he can control the electricity.

(Edit - 'beheaded man' lol, poor Humphry)

And this is a timely reminder to not drink and Tattle

You're absolutely right. Poor Humphrey indeed. The actor that plays him also plays Robin so at least I remembered one of his characters . I've always wondered if they use him for the body shots or a body double (BA BOOM!).

There's a new series starting tonight
Am excited already

Yippee! Only the other day I wondered where be the ghosts?
(Embarrassed to be so attached to fictional dead characters- nay I adore the living humans too!)

How cute is this?

Syston Knitting Banxy: Ghosts actors react to Halloween topper

An anonymous artist has made a Halloween-themed postbox topper with characters from the BBC show.

www.bbc.co.uk

So I live not far from there & visit a lot a a good friend lives in Syston. There is a beaut homeware & gift place next to this post box. I always love seeing the display that is adorning the top of the post box! I will get her to take a pic for us!

I suppose I found Pat's death quite dark and tragic yet still humorous. They're obviously good at combining tragedy and comedy so I will trust them!

I expect that for Mary the comedy will be about what exactly made people think she was a witch. Witch burnings can be light-hearted (e.g. Good Omens with Witchfinder Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer).

I could see Kitty's story being more sad, though, and I'm very curious about Robin and the Captain. I like the theory going around that Robin got struck by lightning. I've seen lots of people worry that the circumstances surrounding the Captain's death might be very sad, but I quite like the idea that he had a very ordinary death and just finds it a bit embarrassing as he would have liked to go down in a blaze of glory.

Yeah I'm very curious about Kitty as she's the only one who's death we know nothing about. I just assumed Robin died naturally cos cavemen died young and that the Captain died in the war. But yeah now I think about it he has no visible injuries so I think that's probably very likely that he had an un-heroic death and is embarrassed about it. I hope they do flashback episodes for all of them, even for the deaths that have been explained like Fanny's.

 

[WeepingCassandra]

The running theme seems to be that all of them did something foolish inadvertently causing their own death !

Was Mary burned as a witch? Or did she just burn the cakes? I see what you mean about that being a bit problematic though.

I thought she mentioned in passing in one of the episodes being burned at the stake, very early on - I'm sure she has a line somewhere about people coming to get her and taking her away.

This video says she was burned at the stake at about 2 minutes 30 -

I really want to know what happened to Kitty, she really interests me. Definitely my spirit animal XD

thought some here would enjoy! Martha reading a letter from their book.

I love ghosts! Just such a brilliant programme with super cast

 

[CoffeeMamma]

I’ve been off work with a broken arm but I’ve rationed episodes to 1 a day about to head into the last one… I have tissues

 

[DigiDuino]

I’m taking it week by week but the first episode was great! Felt a little different in places with the new director but it was as funny and clever as usual.

My sister finally decided to start watching it and just started with this episode so she was a bit confused about who were ghosts...

 

[Aussie]

I'm booked into see the film this coming Saturday, really looking forward to it

 

[Some People!]

I liked the scene where Thomas dances to The Cure haha.

Barely related, but I love the crossover in my music tastes with [presumably] Mathew Baynton (actor) - his songs in Horrible Histories are always my favourites, especially Charles Dickens/The Smiths and Dick Turpin/Adam Ant. Love the Cure, that really made me smile

Thanks all for drawing my attention to the podcast - I'll be all over that soon!

Right, must get back to my embarrassing parasocial relationship with the entire cast!

 

[Baby Giraffe]

Went on Sunday with Mr Giraffe and we both really enjoyed outselves, generally silly but some really moving bits too, was a bit worried it wouldn't live up the series but wasn't disappointed at all.

 

[MitziAdele]

Absolutely love this show...it is a joy to watch. Robin and Julian are my favourites. Fanny reminds me of Mrs Slocombe from Are you being served, I think it's the face she pulls when shocked or disgusted
I see all episodes are now available on iplayer so that's my evening sorted. Thank you BBC

 

[Some People!]

I'm sure I'll end up watching all of the US version and barely enjoying it, but I'm a completionist and am entertained by seeing how they attempt to translate all my favourite plot points and character arcs

 

[DanDanTheIceCreamMan]

As sad as I am about this, I am a big fan of shows going out at their best rather than flogging it into mediocrity. Always leave the viewers wanting more.

I think you're spot on

In other news, we've just watched the first episode of Taskmaster series 15 and Kiell was great fun in it
