Ghost's last ever episode.

Ghost's was one of the most brilliantly written tv series ever. I think the ending was absolutely disappointing. Why on earth do they have to age them and end it like that .

We loved it! DH and I thought it tied the series up beautifully and, more importantly, made it difficult for producers to make “just one more special”. How many fabulous programs have been flogged to death long after their ‘ sell by date’ . Looking at you call the midwife.

I loved it too, a very neat ending to a pleasurable series that I always looked forward to.

We loved it as well and I thought the ending was genius, not something I was expecting at all!

Same here! Loved it..thought the ending was perfect.
Going to watch it all again from Series 1.

It was a brilliant ending. I had a tear in my eye when I realised that Alison visited the ghosts for the rest of her life.

Watched it last night. Disappointing because it is the end of a brilliant series but I think a fitting finale.

I thought it was a lovely ending to a great series. And the plague victims enjoying the spa was a perfect finish.

I thought it was lovely. I'm so sad it's finished but I really liked how they tied everything up.

Lovely poignant ending, I will miss this series.

We loved it and sobbed at the end!

Loved it, a tearful ending but turned it around to end on a laugh.

Brilliant tv. We have only started watching this year and have enjoyed every episode. We will miss it.

I loved Ghosts. So sorry to see them go, but it seemed the only way it could finish,

GS2 spent a lovely day working on stage with " The Captain" as part of a Shakespeare festival a few weeks ago.

I thought the ending was lovely. This has been one of the best comedy series ever made. I loved Robin, he should get his own spin off series. And Lady Button’s disapproving face just made me chuckle!

One of the best series for a very long time. Absolutely loved it so sad to see it end.
But a good ending go on a high.
I'm going to rewatch it on my own so I can digest it more.

A brilliant concept. Thoroughly entertaining. The scene in one of the early episodes where the ghosts in the cellar knew exactly how to make the boiler work but of course couldn’t communicate with Mike had me in stitches. Robin was my favourite. A worthy ending.

There was too much chatter yesterday to concentrate on it so I hope to watch it with DGS who loved Horrible Histories 🙂

I clicked on the wrong episode the other night and realised that whenever I watch an episode there are things that I’ve missed so I can happily rewatch it. Am also going to watch the American version. The best comedy always makes you cry as well as laugh.

I see that Thomas aka Matthew Baynton will be appearing in Agatha Christie's Murder is Easy on BBC1 tonight

Lovely poignant ending, I will miss this series.

That’s what I thought.Love Ghosts, a brilliant series, but it ended before it went downhill as all long running series tend to do in the end.I like to think the Ghosts enjoyed the upgraded Button House as a super hotel and the guests giving them lots to talk and giggle about.😁

Brilliantly entertaining throughout we thought. Sad it’s over but thought once again they had it spot on we didn’t expect what happened at each episode and especially the last and as has been said already a perfect ending to say all done now…. Although in my head I’ve come up an idea !

Loved the ending, with Alison visiting. The casting was great and it would be wonderful to see those ghosts together in a different series. I think we'll have to find Horrible Histories and catch up with them there.

There’s another series they made called Yonderland but I’ve never been able to find it. A couple of films they made were Bill and Horrible Histories the movie. Pretty much anything they are involved with has a touch of magic. My favourite podcast is You’re Dead to Me with Greg Jenner who was involved with Horrible Histories. Of course, Paddington 2 was written by Simon Farnaby. He was in Detectorists which is also wonderful. They just seem to have created sublime comedies that ( with the exception of Yonderland) are suitable for all ages. I’ve got a Simon Farnaby film called The Phantom of the Ooen which I haven’t watched yet. The lady who played Mary left because she had so many other projects so I’d be interested in whatever she’s going to come up with.

We watched Yonderland when it was televised Maybee thoroughly amusing.
