Ghosts - BBC

[StephenTJackson]

18 episodes in series 1 of Ghosts US!
What do we get? 6 episodes per series?

The American way, quantity not quality. It's like it for every show, comedy or drama. We get 6 episodes they get 14-20 for a drama and 16-24 for comedy.

Does anyone else say ‘moon-ah’ in Robin’s voice when they see the moon?

Absolutely yes.

I've a wonderful older lady neighbour called Muna. That's hard for me.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Am hopeful it will be watchable. Simon, Martha, Jim, Mat, Lawrence and Ben are all listed as executive producers.

Executive Producer doesn't always mean much, especially when it comes to American TV.

I'm so sad it's over. I bawled.

Have just watched the first episode of Yonderland on the Virgin box, really enjoyed it, had totally missed it when it came out so thanks for the heads up

 

[Peachsquish]

I can't remember if it's while she's at the doctor's office or somewhere else, but she looks out of the window and there's two RAF pilots floating in mid air.

Its when they are trying to buy another place to live, without the ghosts

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

Can't wait to see it too (and if I had the money id go to the drive thru and take no passengers - seats only for snacks/picnic and blanket )

Just been watching a couple of the US episodes on iPlayer ... absolutely dire! As others have said where is the subtlety? Everything in the plot is delivered like a sledgehammer! And the replacement characters are just awful! Including the two "livings"!

Anyone know how well it's gone down in the US? The Office US was similarly dire in the first season but massively improved after that.

Back to the UK series. I've always wondered, given they can't touch anything (well except for Julian's magic finger) and can walk through walls/doors. How come they don't just keep falling through the floorboards and how come they frequently sit on chairs . In fact in one of the Series 4 episodes I noticed Julian sit down on a sofa and his weight caused someone that was already on the sofa to sink down a touch as well . Plot hole

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.

I rewatched that one a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely sobbed! Pat has always been my favourite, he’s so funny and the most relatable too.
I think his story is so emotional, because all of the other ghosts would be dead by now (apart from Julian, but I can’t empathise with a Tory ) but Pat should still be with his family and living his best life as a granddad.

That's one episode I just can't rewatch, it's brutal. I sobbed so much!

 

[Padfoot]

I keep playing this and it's just so funny
series 3 bloopers!

 

[StephenTJackson]

Saw it this afternoon and absolutely loved it, first time going to the cinema on my own and it was brilliant no arguments about what film to see or snacks to have, no one crunching in my ear think it’s the most relaxing cinema trip I’ve ever had and I loved the film only criticism is I would’ve liked Mike to have had more interaction with the ghosts when he could talk to them. Wonder if the Mike dropping Mia storyline is an Easter egg for Mia to be able to see the ghosts in maybe a future film? I only went into town as I had a training course for work but idiot me didn’t see the email cancelling it due to the weather warning so ended up in the cinema as the rain was too bad to drive home.

I thought it was for something like this to happen.

The US version of Ghosts is being shown on BBC 3 this Sunday at 8.30pm

It's already on iPlayer!!

I just noticed and have watched 3 or 4 episodes. Don't love it. It's definitely not as bad as I was expecting though. It's barely funny.

 

[qwikti]

According to my TV guide all 6 episodes will be available from the 6th.

I've come back around to enjoying periodically released shows, so I think I'll definitely be watching on a schedule. More fun in getting the snacks ready, the hot water bottle, and getting the cosy autumnal vibes set every week!

I came to the show quite late, and honestly, I sort of wished I'd paced myself!

I started watching it last night after reading this thread and I’m on season 2 already, I love it ! Best thing I’ve watched in a long time

 

[OwlAtTheMoon]

where do you watch it? Tried searching and I am just getting results for 'The Bill'!

I saw it on bbc iplayer just a couple of weeks ago. Loved it.

 

[Peachsquish]

I saw the trailer for this and am afraid it didn't seem a patch on the marvellous British version. Some things just don't translate so well but I'll definitely give it a watch - you never know, might be pleasantly surprised.

Am hopeful it will be watchable. Simon, Martha, Jim, Mat, Lawrence and Ben are all listed as executive producers.

As its October I thought I would share this again!

If you have a spare £150 and live near Surrey you can go to a drive-in movie screening of Ghosts at West Horsley Place where Ghosts is filmed. Up to four people per car but that's still £37.50 each! But you do get to go inside Button House before the screening.

They've a few other events on to celebrate the film launch.
