Ghosts - BBC

[Woolmercardington]

Two weeks is great. Our local Vue is literally showing it Fri/Sat/Sun and that's it. Friday was a no no as it's the last day of term and I am goosed now, let alone then! And Sunday we're off to Harrogate to see Reece Shearsmith so I've had to book Saturday night.

Hoping it won't be long until it streams!

I think my Odeon is only doing three nights, too

I just got back. I loved it!

Nice to meet you my name is Pat. In 82, I was a real cool cat.
I love him

He's the best

I hope so! Maybe we need an ACGAS thread?!

I did find one but it was from 2020 and had 3 posts.

I'm up to the Ned Kelly episode and I think i need to retract my statement that was pretty diabolical I think while they stick loosely to the UK plots it's fine. I like all of the ghosts though, which is something I can't say about the US version where I don't like any of them!

So I’ve been lurking on this thread and decided to try the US version! I think the two things I actually liked initially (on episode 3) was 1- that Sam’s fall was a genuine accident 2- the mucky politician is the one that is chasing her; it’s just funny! I definitely agree with the comments above- it’s not subtle at all, but if you take it for what it is, it’s a time waster (I’ve decluttered the whole toy box!)

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.

There's a new series starting tonight
Am excited already

Soooo excited!

 

[Woolmercardington]

I'm a terrible party pooper, but me and my friend just for back from seeing it and rated it just 'OK'.

We were a bit disappointed, tbh

But glad to hear it's gone down well with so many others.

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

It's only on at the Odeon near me for 2 weeks. I wonder if it will then go on streaming sites like Netflix. I loved the drive thru movies as a kid!

 

[Aussie]

Hey I visited my friend last weekend in Syston & sadly the postbox topper had changed.

 

[50sGirl]

I'm annoyed we still don't know how Kitty died!

I thought her sister poisoned her.

I think the BBC would stream it over Netflix or the option to pay on prime

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

 

[Vee6]

Rubbish. Kept waiting for something to happen

 

[Rainbowcolours]

Loved it

 

[IndominusRex]

Too full of flu to get to cinema this week. Do we know when it will stream?

 

[Brady]

I've just watched Bill.

If you like Horrible Histories and Ghosts, you'll like this.

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

 

[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

 

[keytotruth]

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