Ghosts - BBC

I watched with my daughter (she's obsessed, I'm only up to series 2). We both bawled and daughter refuses to accept it's finished. She loves Ben (The Captain) and I may have a slight crush on Matt 🤭

Lovely ending. I'm glad they didn't get "sucked off". I'm also glad they only showed "old" Alison from behind so not to ruin it 🤣

Got her this for Xmas for her room...

I don't think there was a "right" ending really.

If they stayed, then nothing has changed in 5 series and it isn't really an ending at all.

If Mike can see ghosts it is too convenient and cliche and kinda of gets rid of half the joke.

If Alison died, leaves Mike and the baby alone.

If they left, they moved on, Alison probably can learn to ignore other ghosts now she knows what is going on and there isn't mutual attachment, but they come back and visit, but she can still see ghosts elsewhere.

There is issues with all the ending options, nothing was "right".

Even though they were going back on what happened at the end of S5, I thought it was really well done - because everything changed once the baby arrived and they all needed to adapt

Side note: still laughing at 'good fishy milk'
 
Oh I'm gutted it's all over 😭

Have to say though it did need a one hour proper send off ..... It all felt a bit rushed sadly.

My biggest issue was the amount of screen time given to a random not very likeable character when we had so many of our favourites to say goodbye to (no offense to the actor playing Mike's mum of course)

The tone also felt a little off -
seeing Alison run down and drained, I would of loved to have seen her thriving on her A game, happy and confident with the Ghosts giving her laughs and challenges for old times sake , they could of thrown in at least one shock 'sucking off' because why not last ep, go wild.

The episode where Robin had a premonition of death for the ghosts would of been perfect for the end i think, the mystery, the drama, the worry then the joy and comedy of the outcome but ultimately Alison, Mike and the ghosts all happy and all still together in the end would of made our Christmas tbh.
 
I'm glad they didn't get sucked off.... I got a bit scared when the priest showed up. I thought them going back every year was nice, but TBH I dont think we would have been happy with any ending as we just didnt want it to stop.

I do love this troop of actors and I cant wait to see what they do next (I did see an advert for Mathew Baynton playing Bottom in A Midsummer Nights Dream recently)
