[Dontevernamechange]

Yay! Just saw a trailer. Next Monday BBC1 8.30.

Great news, thanks OP!

Goody. Something to look forward to.

Thanks for the new thread. I’m looking forward to it!

aargh. have to work this evening. annoying. still gives me an incentive.

I told my daughter I'd wait for her to gst in from her activity before starting it... so I'll be 30mjns behind 😲

Whoop. Here we go. Can’t wait

Will stay off mn for next 30m or miss the jokes

Butt ho 😂😂

The whole series is up!!!

R.E.M. this is a spoiler free thread

Tv pace only

Whoooooooohooooooooo

Can't wait for teen ds1 to get home on weds so we can watch

Wasn't the best episode yet but lovely to have a new series to enjoy! I did like Humphrey's accidental beheading!

Thought be lots of replies /watchers tonight

Agree @mum2jakie not the best. But was ok

I always say this but who is the neighbor. I sooooo recognise him abs his voice

So happy this is back! I don't know who plays the ghastly neighbour but he is a terrific character.
Did anyone else think it felt a little bit bitty though? Apparently due to Covid the actors only acted together in small groups and were then patched together for the ensemble shots using green screen. I wonder if that showed.
Still, the whole family is really looking forward to the rest of the series...

''Thomas is terrific and I wish we were betrothed'' tickled me

Bless Yani Xander, who plays Humphrey's body. He looks like a young Shia TheBeef

I hope he gets a speaking part at some point, if not in this, then something else.

I must say, you all have more willpower than I. Am going to be bingeing but will start a parallel spoiler thread as per last year, so as not to ruin this one.

Quick question - not a spoiler - how does Robin play chess if the ghosts cannot grip/move anything except Julian?

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams

Who's backstories are we still waiting for?

Mary - she almost spoke about it in the episode with the garden 'Redding Weddy'. Robin (Moon - uh)

@SequinsandStiIettos

Quick question - not a spoiler - how does Robin play chess if the ghosts cannot grip/move anything except Julian?

When he plays Julian he tells him what pieces and moves to play

"Funny hat guy go dooka dooka "

Lolly Adepole is in Shrill on iPlayer. Well worth a watch

I thought this was much more than ok

I thought it was an excellent blend of pathos, wit and silliness.

Watched them all and will dip in again over the next few nights

I'm so glad this is back, it's one of the nicest things on TV.
I didn't otice anything particularly odd with social distancing, but I was so riveted as usual.

I wonder why - in all the years they've been stuck together - the ghosts have never discussed their deaths before.
(yep, definitely overthinking this)

Well the ghosts were clearly around when Julian died so even if they didnt see the death they saw the aftermath.

I'm wondering if they forget over time.

And yes i'm overthinking it!

Managed to see first two eipsodes last night. will watch the rest later.

I am so glad that Ghosts is back. I agree that last night was not the best episode ever. However, given the generally very high standard across the series so far, I was very happy. I loved Mary's jibes at Humphrey about his quick and relatively painless death. I can't wait for Kitty's episode later in the series.

I think its supposed to be that interacting with the living is making character growth possible. So while the Captain cant run faster, he can come to terms with his feelings. (Plus the meta reason as otherwise there'd be no show.)

Also, just gone back to the first episode and appreciating some of the little touches. In episode 1 the chess board is covered in dust, by season 3 its clean, showing how Alison is really looking after her house mates.

Apparently social distancing guidelines mean we won't be seeing much of the plague victims all crowded in together!

How much is Jessica Knappett in it? I love Ghosts but absolutely cannot stand her!
