‘Ghosts’ [10/10]
Ever since I've fallen in love with the so-called 'Six Idiots' (‘Horrible Histories’ cast), I went on a whole journey of watching not only their single works and films they were on but also their work as the whole team. ‘Ghosts’ has - and probably always will be - one of my favourite of their works. Extremely funny and an always rewatchable show full of jokes, with here-and-there heartwarming scenes (Like when Pat goes on a small speech when he sees the 'light', or when Robin is sad that he can't celebrate the 'Moonah' day ). I can't count the amount of times I've spent on this series, and I can't wait for the next two seasons!
Lighthearted, slapstick, silly comedy.
Nothing out of this world, but I enjoyed it as a bit of light relief.
What a brilliantly sweet, funny, touching and positive comedy. You feel emotionally attached to the characters which over the course of the short episodes are swung from laughter to tears.
Not usually a fan of comedies but when they are this good will happily watch on repeat.
Some fantastically talented and funny people involved in this program - very silly and almost entirely suitable for kids too.

It's an absolute pleasure to watch...

Every character is brilliant but my favourite is the caveman...

Craving more stumbled upon this writers panel (surprised the writers are among the actors)....

I liked the UK version much more than the US remake of which I started watching before this. I only started watching the original after persevering through season 1 of the US show of which the seasons are 3 times as long.
That said, this version “totally Ninja” peaked at the end of season 2 after a very satisfying, episode-by-episode improvement. After season 3 the show was just good and never reached those lofty heights again.
Not being a Christmasy person myself, ending the show a seasonal episode was unfortunate (although some of them were quite good). The lame Christmas-motivated sentimentality was a very weak ending. Getting the finale right is hard but as much as the general plot points worked, the emotional glue was poorly applied.
I’ll always remember this show for the first 2 seasons, they were absolutely top notch.
I adore this series. I have faithfully waited for every season to drop and I am so sorry it is over. Don’t be confused, I’m talking about the original BBC series, not the American version. First of all, British history is millennial deep giving us a wider selection of people who could have died on the land and become resident ghosts (and characters). Second, British humour is so subtle and the writing is clever. Third, I simply love how Charlotte Ritchie, seemingly effortlessly, delivers comedy. Fourth, the ensemble cast was perfect and such accomplished actors that you may not realize that new episodic characters were often the ensemble wearing new roles. I’ll miss this show. I give this series a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Comedy]
I almost made the mistake of watching the American remake of this... When i saw that little "based on the BBC comedy 'Ghosts'"
This is a cute and quirky show. It's not a laugh-a-minute kind of funny, but it certainly has its moments. The caveman is the funniest part of the show (imo).
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Almost made the mistake of watching the American remake... When i saw the opening credits mention this. After watching 2 minutes of that one, was just ridiculous how much they have to make a literal copy... Why even do it? This one has the better actors, better comedy, better writing etc.
Anyway I burned through all 3 seasons in only a few days... That's how much I enjoyed this. Been needing something funny, lighthearted, cheeky, and good to watch. All I am right now is in need of more more more!!!
Each character is so great and different, and the on screen chemistry with each other is fantastic. What an awesome idea. :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:
