Ghosts Series 3 the bingewatchers' thread *includes spoilers*

[SequinsandStiIettos]

Evening
Setting up the bingeing thread which, same as last year, works parallel to the concurrent one which is TV pace.
This thread is for those of us with no willpower to discuss the whole series freely.
Episode 2 with the loose women references and Pat/Kitty's dance routine was joyous was my favourite from the six.
But the whole series works - whether it's willy-shaped chess pieces or butt jokes. It's just a lovely ensemble. I also thought Mary had better lines/more to her part this time around.

Thats truely amazing, just shows what a bit of make up can do!

It’s crazy isn’t it! Bit of make up and he looks completely different. To be fair I didn’t believe it when I first read it but obviously didn’t mention that to DH!

DH and I just binged the whole series! Loved it.

Really hope there is a fourth…..

Has to be done

I caved in and binged. How a lovely show and such a sweet final scene. I think the dual casting in Kitty's story was a nod to The Wizard of Oz which they mention earlier in the episode.
I loved Robin and Julian hiding together in the camping episode, The Captain talking to his pillow, loads of little moments. I also crush hard on Lawrence and Ben.

Right that's mine and dd1s tv for tomorrow sorted(both in covid isolation at the mo)

@balloonsintrees that's a hot picture

I had a little sob when the badges were being handed out. Such a lovely thoughtful touch by Pat. I was also crying (laughing) when Kitty thought she was watching Greece!

I haven’t binged it yet, I’m just joining in with the Larry & Ben fangirling

Let us literally never forget this

Problem is that I can do hot Ben and Larry pics all day

I have to work really hard to not make it a problem . I could go on for hours.

These threads always end up the same way

Is it wrong that I fancy him even when he's a neanderthal?
Moonah!

Totally binged. Loved it as always although ep 3 was the stand out for me I think.
I loved the Grease/Nightmare on Elmstreet misunderstanding - so funny.
I never fancy actors but Ben Willbond makes me feel all funny inside . Not sure if it's him or the captain though!!!

Absolutely no advertising that this was on!
Going to watch them all on the iPlayer

Ben is definitely a fine red wine. Here he is as an emotional member of the Department of Education in the first St Trinian’s reboot.

Lord Bummenbach has the biggest balls in the county

I couldn't stop laughing at that

Helloooo bingers! We’ve watched them all over 2 nights. Loved it! Will probably end up rewatching them a few times now and noticing more details and throwaway lines. I just think the whole thing is so, so well done. The timing is impeccable. When Kitty is talking about dance moves and says “we did the mashed potato, the chicken and then the banana split” and Cap is just walking up behind and says “that’s a balanced meal”, perfect timing.

Really thought Cap was going to come out! So many references - when they say they are going to watch Wizard of Oz, and he goes “oh, Dorothy!”. And “No one knows Fanny like me!”. Cap and Fanny non-laughing was a good one as well. Pat going almost apoplectic “neither of you laughed!!!!”. Mary had so many great lines and new turns of phrases as well. She is my favourite I think. Her bitterness at Humphrey’s quick death (“if you can call that dying”). Oh also the line when the queen’s guard found Humphrey’s body….“think I’m going to say I did that”….“yeah I would”. And later when Humphrey’s body punched his head off for messing things up with Fanny (although that storyline, in retrospect, was very weird and unnecessary!)

I found Kitty’s episode a little disappointing in that all that delving into her story, but we didn’t actually learn all that much - her sister was mean and she naïvely didn’t realise/suppresses it, we knew that. No full revelation about what actually happened, or any real growth for her character, not like we’ve seen with say Pat or Julian as they’ve explored their lives/deaths. Or even Fanny.

Loved the idea that Julian is permanently drunk and yes his bromance with Mike was lovely.

Thomas I felt didn’t get much chance to shine this season and think the comic potential of his lusting over Alison has kinda been tapped now.

Felt quite down/subdued how they ended the series though, I don’t think there’s any more greenlit yet so I’m really hoping that’s not it!!! Didn’t enjoy the scamming fake sister storyline as I just didn’t feel that Alison would be that instantly trusting, she’s always a little more on the sceptical side.
