Ghost's last ever episode.

Loved it ! Sad to see it finish but better to go out on a high than to try and bring another series and it not be so good.

I thought maybe they should have got at least another series out of it first- maybe with the baby being able to see the ghosts too would have been amusing? And then once the suggestion was made of Alison giving up the house & moving to actually leaving i thought was a bit too rushed? Plus after all the effort she & mike had been putting in to improve the place and them both saying they 'loved it' i felt that was not what they would have done?- i think they could have still moved on in time by showing them at end as 'oldies' but still in the house- but took a few more episodes to reach that end.(after all whats a series, about 6 weeks?) Or even Alison dying there when older and joining the ghosts?Or at least a scene where they let us see the ghosts later and them telling tales of how they've got on over the years with the place as a hotel?(after all they were against idea to start with) No, was great acting all round but as with a lot of well loved & established series lately they crammed a rushed ending into about 10 minutes, which is dissapointing for such a good show.Would be interesting to know what the actors playing mike & Alison thought.🤔

Matthew Baynton was very good in Murder is easy.

I disagree about the ending. If you look back to the previous episode, Alison had already decided that she wanted to sell Button House. It was only when the ghosts told her how much they loved her and wanted her to stay that she changed her mind. They then realised that she needed to sell up and decided that, if they really cared about her they should tell her that, for the sake of her family she should sell up. At least, unlike Game of Thrones that I have never been able to rewatch after the botched, rushed ending, I will be able to rewatch Ghosts.

I loved the ending…it also means they won’t be tempted to make another series. You have to be left wanting more, otherwise they wreck a good thing

Ghastly series.

What a good thing that we're all different, we thought it was a poor series, hardly funny at all - each to their own.

Sad it's over but a fitting end to it all BUT they could rework it with the hotel maybe!! And by the way I loved call the midwife.

Just out of interest what comedies do you find funny? I used to love eg The IT Crowd, Black Books, programmes like that.

I loved every single episode including that very last Christmas episode which brought tears to my eyes.
How would you have ended it Nanderin?

Totally agree Greyduster!

Me too York lady

I loved Ghosts. Do think it would have been great if they could have done another series as it still had a lot to offer.

My teenage granddaughter introduced me to Ghosts a few months ago and I’ve loved every episode. My granddaughter rewatched most of them with me and we were so looking forward to the Christmas Day episode.

We watched it together on Christmas evening and were both a little disappointed at the ending. I would have liked to have seen “old” Alison meeting and chatting with them when she entered the hotel room. It ended too abruptly for me.

I’ve loved all the episodes and will probably watch them all again.

Loved all of the series, but felt it was time to wind it up. Very talented cast have moved on to other projects and deserve to do well. I thought the last episode was well done, maybe the end felt a little rushed, and I wanted Robin to get “sucked off”, but ‘‘twas not to be….

My daughter and I love it and so does my grandson, who also loved Horrible Histories. My son sat and watched the last episode and he just said "At what point does it get funny?"! He just didn't get it at all. But I don't "get" much of what he watches,

I thought the ending was perfect. Terrific series.

Another vote here for Ghosts.
I've now watched all 5 seasons pretty much back to back and I can't think of a dud episode. Rather like Dad's Army, I could happily rewatch the whole thing from episode 1.
I understand the team call themselves the 6 Idiots and have now produced a Christmas stocking filler book with back stories of the Ghosts. Some of them were involved in a brilliant but very short lived sitcom about 19th century medicine called Quacks which I highly recommend hunting down.
The US version of Ghosts is very inferior apparently.

I agree this was a lovely show ,funny and original. The caveman, Robin , I think , was one of my favourite characters. In one of the later shows the ghosts were discussing how they had each arrived in the UK. Robin said "Well I walked here !".
Lovely.

I loved Ghosts but did think that the ending was a bit rushed. I realise it was a one off special but maybe it could have been longer or over two episodes.

I can't remember the names of the characters as it is a while since I watched it. The scoutmaster is in a series called 'Here we go'. It is on BBC iPlayer. The second series has just come out. The MP is also in one episode. It's a bit frantic with all of the family members but it is quite entertaining.
