I'm so excited for Matt in Midsummer! I live in Stratford so fingers crossed I can still get tickets but if not I'm 100% camping outside stage door (failing that bumping into him in town)
I got front row seats!!
Gutted it's over.
I hated and loved the ending. It was a beautiful ending but it's heartbreaking to think they didn't see eachother everyday but the fact they went back every year had me bawling.
As someone else said, I don't think we'd have been happy with any ending because we don't want to say goodbye but as endings go it was pretty decent.

It made no sense for Alison and Mike to move away when she can see ghosts everywhere. The storyline was rather poor and I guess that's why the series has ended because they were out of ideas
But the ghosts that Alison sees everywhere aren’t enmeshed in her family situation in the same way that the Button House ghosts are.
They didn’t suggest she leave in order to never see a ghost again, they suggested she leave because she & Mike needed to raise their family without constant input from a collection of over-involved ‘aunties and uncles’.
I thought it was the best possible ending. I don’t know how have it could have ended that would have been equally as ‘final’ without being tragic in some way.

I completely get the logic behind the ending, don’t get me wrong, but I can’t logic myself into feeling moved by the ending. I just felt deflated. I was absolutely ready to give them my tears and heartache, but they didn’t manage to earn them.
I thought it was a really good ending too, and I loved the plague ghosts getting something nice after hundreds of years stuck in the dark cellar
That's how I felt - unmoved. Alison wasn't herself in this episode and Mike's mother was a dull pain the arse. It just wasn't funny or touching like previous Xmas episodes have been
Yes, exactly this! I didn't feel like there was enough genuine interaction between Alison and the ghosts during the episode to warrant tears at the ending.That's how I felt - unmoved.

In that situation I'd have no problems with the Ghosts and the baby, the death trap mansion might be somewhat off putting though
Bit off topic but for anyone who might be missing the wonderful Captain and in case it was a bit off the radar at the time Ben appears in an episode of Alma's not normal, hes topless and getting a bit kinky in bed it's all in good fun of course but he plays a very dashing cad and if it helps anyone here a bit at this time of loss then thought it was worth a little derail 
tell me the precise episode plz, for a friend.Bit off topic but for anyone who might be missing the wonderful Captain and in case it was a bit off the radar at the time Ben appears in an episode of Alma's not normal, hes topless and getting a bit kinky in bed it's all in good fun of course but he plays a very dashing cad and if it helps anyone here a bit at this time of loss then thought it was worth a little derail
Of course, its episode 3 and he's just divine in it .
OK so my view might be slightly different to some here. I thought the ending was perfect. I had a baby this year and it really struck for me as showing how exhausting, overwhelming and ultimately lonely in a crowded room motherhood can be. I think that more than explains why Alison wasn't quite herself. The ghosts all giving their thoughts on how to raise, how to settle, how to wind, whatever the baby and waking her up from naps made me feel so sad and frustrated for Alison (and Mike to some extent). Didn't love the overbearing mother in law trope but you know what, that's pretty realistic too.
I missed most of the ending as I was bawling from them getting in the car to drive away. Was there some significance to the room they stayed in?

I think you summed it up perfectly. I thought it was her & Mike's old bedroom.
it was their old room, named the Higham suite for Kitty
My daughter has ordered this - she may be slightly in love with Ben
We also went to see Wonka today. And I may be slightly in love with Matt. Not enough to buy a t-shirt (the husband may have words about that!) but oh my
Did anyone else not remember this?
duck me I might save his audio for future ref but you could have warned me it was bleeping Fiz from Corrie
