Ghosts - BBC

[50sGirl]

Does anyone know when this year’s Christmas special is please?

 

[Nuttyzebra]

Gaaah! Have I missed it?! Hope it'll be online somewhere, not that I'll be able to see it as we've got no broadband and virtually no mobile data signal at the moment

Usually goes up on YouTube later on. Not sure though

Hahaha. I think if you enjoyed Peep Show, you may enjoy this. The first series takes some breaking in- as does any where they're establishing characters etc but it's fab.

Peep show was outstanding. I'm always told that I remind people of Jez which I'm not entirely sure is a good thing



Yondeland is the kind of wacky programme you watched as a child and reminisced about as an adult but made for your now warped/ jaded/ filthy adult mind

I think you can get the dvds online but one of the series is impossible to get hold of.

Like This Life which I got recently. Series one is dirt cheap but series two is £££

Will have to check this yondeland out now sounds up my alley

I didn't rate it at all. I think the Horrible Histories Rotton Romans film was much better.

I have to disagree completely I loved Bill - I've watched it many times. I turned Rotten Romans off because it was so bad.

I’ve just finished the US series.
I think it’s best not to compare it to the UK version because, other than the concept, it’s totally different.

Spoiler

Sam can see Ghosts wherever she goes. Could Alison do that in the UK version? I can’t recall. I liked when she met her mum again.

I don’t think the actor who plays Thorfinn is very good - is it just me or does his accent keeps slipping?

Trevor, the Wall Street Trader, who plays the equivalent of the UK politician character, is much more likeable than the UK character.

I miss a “Mary” equivalent.

Nigel reminds me of Matt Hancock facially!
The headless character seems to have been forgotten most of the time.

Spoiler

There is no way that Hetty would have been so accepting of Isaac admitting he was gay or shared a bedroom with him. Did we find out how she died? I’m also glad the Prom Queen was only for one episode as I didn’t enjoy that one.

Spoiler: Response to first spoiler

I think she could. The doctor scene is lifted from the UK show

I agree the US show is different. I am enjoying it, even though I agree they have rushed through the characters back stories, although I love the back stories. Isn't the trouserless guy a trader? They have got him spot on as a stereotype!

Fingers crossed nothing showing as yet

I love this show! Binged series 4 already has anyone listened to the podcast on BBC sounds? I was disappointed as I thought there might be some behind the scenes insight but it's mainly the presenter (the guy who plays Mike's friend Obi) mucking about with a couple of the main actors . Hopefully it'll improve!

Oooh there's a Christmas special on tonight.
Am looking forward to it!

I binged it all yesterday, absolutely loved it
Does anyone know if there’s a Christmas special?

 

[Cosmicpixiesb]

I love Rose McIver but not convinced

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I think it's on Prime

That's where I watched it.

I felt the same after watching the first couple of episodes, however I stuck with it and it grew on me a bit. The US version branches out a bit more than the UK one, we see ghosts in other settings and other ghosts come and go in the house, so in that respect it's a bit different.

I've just listened to the second podcast and it was a lot better than the first! It gave a bit more insight into the writing/creative process.

Where do you watch the American version?

Anyone know outside the UK to watch the final Christmas special need to watch the final episode
