Ghosts - BBC

[WeepingCassandra]

We’ve treated ourselves to tickets to a Mum and Baby screening near us. Unfortunately not one of the big chains that does a nice drink and a cake with your ticket as there aren’t any within 50 miles of here but one that‘s a local independent place. Another downside is that it’s not until the 2nd of November but we wouldn’t be able to go any other time so meh!

Only watched the first episode but not impressed so far. There are too many ghosts and none of them has much personality. It's like watching a bunch of people wearing costumes to a party. It's very rushed; they've crammed two original episodes into one that last about 20 minutes. And it's just not funny!

 

[Some People!]

This might fill the gap ( no matter how rubbish) of something we all watch as a family, as Ghosts was.

Us too - my kid thinks it is OK but inferior

They're rarely seen together and they probably just have another actor in the 'body of Humphrey' costume. Humphrey was hardly in the Xmas special.

Yes the body of Humphrey is credited on IMDB For the whole series.

Christmas Day at 7:25pm! I can’t wait, it’s so good anyway but the Christmas ones are extra lovely.

Lovely thank you.

ooooh, fabulous! I was wondering about this the other day

 

[Sprezza]

Why is Simon Farnaby doing random adverts? He must have made some decent money from Ghosts

@kev1974 I know they've given it a second series and there was a xmas special this year, I think the general feeling among people who have seen both is that the UK one is much better

Spoiler: US spoilers

it annoyed me how they revealed how the ghosts died very quickly and that they seem to have much more money to do the place up/open the B&B with immediately.

I know Mathew Baynton has a cameo next series though, and the UK writers are involved in it generally

I've been watching the second series on CBS and I quite enjoy it as long as I don't think of it in any way connected to UK ghosts what's annoying though is that sometimes it's not on for weeks at a time. The last episode I watched was aired on 16th December and it was probably only halfway through the series.

There's a new series starting tonight
Am excited already

They’re all already up on iPlayer too!
Just watched the first one, excellent as always!

I don’t use the tube that much. I live in Essex. It’s played continuously at my local station and on the Greater Anglia trains I use

 

[ElectricDreams]

I'm quite enjoying it. It'll never be as good as the original but I already prefer it to the US version. It could do with a couple more ghosts though, it feels a bit thin on the ground and I don't know how far they'll get storyline wise with so few of them.

 

[Scotch Mist]

Just spotted that there’s an Australian version on iPlayer; I’m partway through the first episode, and I’m liking it more than the US version

Ive just started watching the Aussie series. I'm not sure about it yet so I'll watch a couple more episodes. I don't think the actors are as good as the UK version and it's not making me laugh as much so far though 🫠

I think I’ve watched about 3 episodes so far, and this sums up my thoughts too: not a patch on the original (though nothing ever could be), but it’s pleasant enough and is far more watchable than the dire US version.

 

[50sGirl]

We’ve started the US one and it’s well written in terms of jokes but less in terms of characters.



yes there is an episode where Alison sees other ghosts - the doctor joke is the same in both series.

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!

You both have way better memories than me. I’ve no recollection of Alison and the doctor!

 

[WeepingCassandra]

We've started the German Ghosts. I've heard from Reddit that the German and Greek versions are the best compared to the British one. The German one is very good!

 

[Ratatat-tit]

I agree! I love the Thomas being Scottish and Robin "Lord Knows Who?" scenes in series 5, but I think for me that's about all which is really sad as I love the show sooooo much

Yup! I can't think of one great episode, especially in comparison to all the other series. It felt like it had no heart left

 

[MitziAdele]

Do let us know how it goes! I also want to try out Yonderland!

Will do . I'm excited about watching this programme

 

[qwikti]

Sunday weather forecast is dark, dreary and wet which means; couch, blanket, candle, brew and watching from episode 1….again

sheer bliss

Count me in!

 

[Misssj80]

My son and I have watched 4 episodes of the new series and we are loving it. Decided to save the last few episodes for tomorrow.
