I finally got round to watching the Comic Relief episode with Kylie earlier. Given that those kinds of mini episodes are normally rubbish, it was really good. Very cleverly constructed.

So I've been thinking of potential storylines they may do. On the podcast there has been talk will Alison & Mike have babies & will the baby see the Ghosts. I think if they did have a baby it would be really good if Alison sees the Ghosts interacting with the baby & the baby reacts with a giggle. I've put a lot of thought into this imaginary storyline 🤣

I think a baby is definitely on the cards. I think I remember in the episode where Mike’s family stays there is a baby and the baby definitely reacted to Julian, he got it to go to sleep?
So they might play on the fact that people believe babies can/do see ghosts but then possibly the baby would grow out of it as they get older.

I absolutely love Ghosts and was sad to read that there will be no more after this series but it is good to leave people wanting more.

I've loved every episode, it is so well crafted.

I've not watched the US version and not sure if I'm going to.

Presumably an attempt to bash the BBC I'm gonna assume. Try and make it look like the BBC is canceling a good show.

Might also be a clickbait thing in some cases since more people will be curious why a beloved show has been AXED (as it's usually melodramatically styled) as opposed to it just... ending as intended.
All about getting that engagement, even if it's mostly people pointing out they're being misleading 🙄

The little girl will have grown so much that they would have to keep replacing the actress to keep it a child ghost

Enjoyed episode 2 (UK version) last night. I'm trying to watch it once a week, to stretch this last series out.... 🤞👻

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. 👍 🤓

I would 100% recommend HH, it’s marketed as a kids show but it’s very funny and you’ll definitely learn something!

The American version told us in the first episode that the Thor/Robin character could make the lights flicker due to being struck by lightning. We had to wait a long time to find that out in the UK version. Thor is nowhere near as good as Robin and neither is the scout guy. They also made it too obvious about the soldier character being gay. There's a distinct lack of subtlety compared to the UK version.

Also the husband is just not as cute and endearing as Mike. I found the American version watchable but nowhere near as intriguing or funny as the British version.

The lack of nuance in the characters and how they are developed or not as the case may be is a flaw. It's too quick in spite of so many episodes so characters don't get to grow naturally they are thrown at us quickly. And with little we don't quickly find out about them.

I enjoyed it and shed a wee tear 😢 but like someone else said, wherever Alison goes she sees dead people. But I appreciate that they wanted it to end… I’ve been watching the US version and it’s grown on me

I'm excited for the new series but I also don't want it because that means it's ending. But also I want it to end with me still wanting more so I'm glad they aren't flogging it to death.
