Ghosts Series 5 - TV pace, no spoilers

What do you want find out in the final series of Ghosts? Sad (sad that is it the last series)

I want to know why Pat always references France/French - I think he used to get the CDs from the Daily Mail on how to teach yourself french and had day-trips to France

If Alison and Mike's baby can see ghosts

Will Alison find out it was Julian who pushed her out of the window?

More Barclay and Bunny - no question, just like them both and want to see them in series 5

When will the next series start - I assume mid-November with final episode at Christmas 😃😭

I didn't know the ghost profiles were for Mike !😂.

Re Alison having the baby who would then see the ghosts..

I could be wrong ..
But didn't they do that in the 1st Christmas special ?

Mike's family came with a baby and she kept cooing and getting excited/happy/calm with the ghosts ??

I could be massively mis remembering...but politician ghost really enjoyed the time with the baby as he realised how much he had missed out with his own children?

Please correct me !

In the podcast they talk about this. They deliberated over it a lot.

Oh maybe I should listen! That makes me feel v perceptive 😁

You are correct @bizzey

He was always too busy at Xmas shagging

In the episode where Mike bought the zorbing suits, he was talking to his mate on the phone about what activity they could do for the B&B, and his mate suggested archery. Mike looked at the profiles and I think there was a newspaper article about Pat being killed by an arrow.

I think you're right, Mike's neice, baby Nancy could see Julian. He was helping her get to sleep.

And I'm guessing her baby is due at Christmas...

Yes she's just found out in April so 8 months takes her to Christmas. A bit cheesy and predictable but I Ghosts so will forgive! I did like that episode. I liked how Pat didn't fall fir sny of the tricks because if his life as a cub leader 😀

I found Pat really unnerving in last night’s episode.

Alison with an evil glint in her eye was funny but Pat and that palm of the hand thing creeped me out.

bizzey · 07/10/2023 17:49

Something was definitely " off " in the episode.

Lots of scenes with them apart/separate?

Wonder if filming with all together was difficult?

Atomickittyxx · 08/10/2023 09:05

Have binge watched all but the last episode I'd love there to be a Christmas special does anyone know if there will be?

Mrsjayy · 08/10/2023 09:12

I rewatched from the start so I get it now the ghosts were also a bit mean to Alison, so was like for like.

Karwomannghia · 08/10/2023 09:18

Love it so much! Already watched 3. Gutted it’s the last series.
had anyone tried the US version?

I just couldn't get on with the US version. It felt a bit "over the top" and the characters not as strong or likeable somehow. They have a Viking character instead of Robin, and I thought it'd have been good for our series to have a couple of more one-off ghosts.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 08/10/2023 16:28

Kitty's voice sounded different..

Loved the insurance bit how it was too surreal a story to be fake 🤣

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/10/2023 16:39

Being struck by lightening three times is unbelievable 😂

The US version took a bit of getting used to, but I really like it now. There are also loads of episodes so you don't have to worry about binge watching and running out of road. I like Thor. I agree it would be good for ours to have guest Ghosts.

Thank you, I know I'll head there once I've watched the last episode. Don't worry I won't spoil it for anyone 😁

WWGDD · 08/10/2023 22:04

We watched a couple of episodes of the US version including the one with Mathew Baynton. It doesn't work imo because of the lead characters (he equivalents of Alison and Mike) They are unlikeable and have no chemistry.

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2023 12:46

I've watched the US version and as a stand alone piece, it's ok but it's not nearly as good as the UK version. The Living couple are a bit too twee for me .
They've managed a few guest ghosts quite nicely

CaveMum · 10/10/2023 14:50

Place marking! Just settling down to listen to the first episode of the podcast while I, ahem, work 😜

HappyCamperTent · 11/10/2023 22:13

my bbc is only showing 6 episodes?… The 6th one didn’t feel like a last one?!

SequinsandStiIettos · 12/10/2023 02:17

Xmas special to follow

This is the No Spoiler thread.

I haven't RTFT as I dont want any spoilers ( I am going to binge watch it )
So apologies if this has already been mentioned.

There is a podcast on BBC sounds from series 4 ( with series 5 to follow )
It's various different cast members talking about each show.
Tbh they keep going off at different tangents which I find annoying but it's still a good listen.

This is the 1st in the series from season 4.
