Ghosts - BBC

[Scotch Mist]

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.

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

No spoilers but just when I thought I couldn’t love The Captain more………🥹

I thought Friday's episide (Pineapple Day) was the best yet this series. Some lovely writing and performances.
Going to really miss it when it's finished!

Enjoyed the Christmas special! Like everyone, I cried so much, it was so sweet.
If I were to be a bit irritating and pernickety, I'd say that I didn't really care much for Alison and Mike's story/lines in it, but hey, it was fine!

I also found that the last series wasn't as magnificent as the others (but hey, if your worst series is THAT good, you're doing something right!), but I enjoyed it! I so want to find out everything about the other characters, hoping we get the Captain's story revealed in the next series.

ALSO if anyone's interested, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, who plays Mike, is going to be on Taskmaster's next series! Charlotte Ritchie (Alison) was on it before too!

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

 

[trouble-loves-me]

I'm on a complete downer now, ngl
What a fantastic show that was from beginning to end, looking forward to whatever is next from the cast
Ps.
I love Ben Willbond.
Always have,always will.
Not to objectify but he's just absolutely delicious lol
And an incredible actor.
That's all

Just gonna leave these here. I may have a Ghosts album in my phone photos, and I will not apologise for it

I have really enjoyed all the series and, although I’m sorry to see it go, as previous posters have said it’s best they go out on a high.

My daughter is autistic and doesnt laugh out loud at much, but Robin makes her laugh every single episode. Funniest character on tv for a while.

shes often quiet and then goes 'dooka dooka dooka, prawn!'

Personally I love Mary, its the voice for me!

 

[MitziAdele]

I wanted to binge watch all episodes tonight but only managed to watch 4 out of the 6.....so still have 2 to watch. . It is so good..... It has to be one of the best modern comedies around today .
Hoping this is not a spoiler (I don't think it is) but pmsl at the sorry song

 

[OwlAtTheMoon]

New series definitely starts on Friday 6th October on BBC1 at 8.30pm. Hurrah, less than a week to go!

 

[sistersofpercy]

Currently watching the latest season of You which stars Charlotte Richie. Every time there is a sex scene DH exclaims "WHAT WOULD LADY BUTTON THINK!" and I can't take any of it seriously anymore

 

[SwizzleMalarkey]

Or instead of a mass sucking off, Alison and Mike die somehow and become ghosts themselves?

Definitely possible! It would be fun for Mike to finally meet all the ghosts. Then the ending is them all there as ghosts as another family/couple move into the house…

 

[Aussie]

That was really lovely

My friend got me the calendar as part of my Xmas present (she did get me other stuff too!)

 

[mindlessness]

It's so nice to see the familiar faces! and that young actor does a very good job at imitating Simon Farnaby's mannerisms!

I want to find out how the captain died. All the others have been explained,
Robin = electrocuted,
the plague pit people = self explanatory,
humphrey = unfortunate beheading,
Mary = burned at the stake,
Mary's friend = choked
Kitty = poisoned / abused by her "sister"
Thomas = shot in a duel
Lady button = pushed out a window
Captain = ????
Pat = shot in the neck
Julian = heart attack doing the naughty
What happened to the captain, I need to know!!!

Need to know!
Love the fact that everyone knows the Captain is gay but it's just him, nothing's ever said.

 

[ElectricDreams]

Love, love, love Ghosts! One of my all-time favourite dramas. This latest series has been superb - it seems to get better, if that's possible, though it was great from the start. I never saw Horrible Histories but can see it's most of the same gang, which explains why the ensemble chemistry, acting and writing talent and comic/pathos skills are so organic and well-honed.

Horrible histories is brilliant, I love it even as an adult. The later series had a different cast which I didn't really warm to but if you get chance, it's worth a look!

Now that's method acting

 

[HannahC]

Yeah no problem with it there but it's also on here which obviously isn't a tube station and most of us don't go in tube stations very often to get the context

It's said on other train lines too. If you're in the UK the majority of people would get the joke, that's why the OP posted it without a detailed explanation of why it was funny.
