The Ghosts say their final goodbye | Ghosts - BBC 

They appear to have bought a new build house, so presumably not there...

She did find a ghost free place before.

The Button House guests became family, she will of course see ghosts wherever she is but she doesn't have to interact with them like she did.

​@@ruthmeb ghosts are linked to land not the house. Given Britain length of habitation ghosts would be necessity be thick in the ground. Even with the low rate of turning ghosting whatever.

That’s what I was thinking.

I just can agree❤

I loved it as well but they didn't explain how Alison could move from Button House and not see ghosts everywhere the way she did in the beginning when she was trying to make the doctor believe she saw ghosts and he told that he believed her because he was one and she saw them all the way home. If the situation cleared itself up, she would have stopped being able to see the ghosts at Button House too.

@@debra2700 I love chatting to people who overthink Ghosts as much as I do!

@@becsutherland4506 I don't know where you live but if you can catch the U.S. version of the show (it's not as good as the UK show but it's not that bad) and it may satisfy your "Ghosts" addiction. The actress who plays Alison's role is pregnant in real life so a baby might have to be written in sooner but the baby was the reason the ghosts decided it was time for Alison, Mike and Mia to leave. We're only going into Season 3 so it will be interesting what the writers decide to do.

We in the US milk shows much longer than the UK does lol so unless ratings tank they will keep it going much longer and wont use teh same ending @@debra2700

Omg i agree.. i loved all the past episodes because they were so funny. I didnt find this funny. And the mike mom storyline made me dislike her and the storyline itself . and it was 75% of the episode. The writing in this storyline was not good.

She does end up seeing them again, though. She visits them at the hotel.

There's now an American made version

And in addition to the American version, CBS has been showing the UK version since this past November (on Thursdays, I think?) due to the writers' strike. Episodes are also available on the CBS streaming service, Paramount+.

We've got access to it on the States!

@@thesussexbunionnot the latest seasons.

Robin is such a kind person, there's no way he wouldn't have been "sucked off" the way Mary and others were. Actually, none of them deserved to be stuck there for as long as they were.

I agree with you I enjoy watching this Ghosts uk

You can see something like this on American TV. It is called Ghosts and is based on this UK version. It is very similar to this series , the characters are similar,not identical, and some not all of the U S version’s episodes are based on this version. It is just coming back for the 3rd season next month.

Yes, but it might not feel like a goodbye to revisit them after an emotional farewell directed at the viewers. I realised that Alison names only a few of the ghosts after returning to Button House, leaving you to wonder if some have moved on.

@@dumdum6280 I thought she says, "Hello, guys" when she opens the door. Did I miss something or misunderstood what she says?

@debra2700 she names Kitty, & I think Julian and Thomas as the door closes.

@@dumdum6280 Thanks. I bought the last three seasons so I'll have to watch it again and listen closer.

Well, in the previous episode, they were still in financial straits, which isn't ideal for a new mother. And, the general theme of the series seemed to be that just because times change doesn't mean the feelings go away.

I completely agree. I feel like the real ending was the finale episode and not the Xmas episode

It all seemed a little bit rushed.

I had to purchase the rest of the seasons of the UK version on Amazon Prime.

BBC version is way better than the American one

Well that or the reality is cast is on a timer. There is an innate flaw when a select part of a cast is immortal or unchanging. Example they would have to switch out plague girl with look alikes every few years

Well, they still had financial problems in the previous episodes, which isn't the most ideal situation for a new mother to be in.

@ThePrincessCH totally get that but the show should have highlighted that and the house as the problem, instead they focused in on they ghosts being annoying rather than the reason Alison actually wanted to stay.

They do! The end of the show saw Alison booking a room there once it’s been converted into a fancy hotel. She’s about 60yrs old at that point!

And in the American version, there is a motorcycle ghost which is almost never shown

He has been in several episodes and comes across as very sweet@@TariAkpodiete

@@gusgomez7141 Don't they only show Crash's body in the American version?

That is because in every scene he is in, they use his beautiful face as some football.@@ThePrincessCH

@@TariAkpodiete There's also the prom queen car ghost.

Well then your opinions aren't very good ones, the US version is a billion times better. Except Pete. Pete is the same

I agree. I have watched a lot of English comedies that I really liked. I love the American version of ghosts. The English version is badly cast, badly costumed, slow moving plot, and just boring.

​@@jeanettestreet5188I don't know about badly costumed. The US one looks too glossy for their respective historical eras.

@@lexruptor Why does it have to be a competition?

​@@jeanettestreet5188How is the casting bad, the charm of the cast is because they are from horrible histories

She did find a ghost free place once.

One issue is that Alison indulged them from the beginning. Setting up books for them, turning on tv shows, giving Julian access to a computer or iPhone etc, so they got used to that. With a new house and new ghosts it would be easier to establish boundaries.

😂

Yeah that's true 😂 but I suppose maybe her new home won't have ghosts

She did actually find a place without ghosts once.

But even if a place has ghosts, it probably won’t be so many who need so much attention from her. If Button House just had the basement ghosts, she would have rarely ever seen them because they preferred to stay in the basement.

Give our version a chance if you can. The characters are the same and it's going into the third season so it's highly popular here. I love your UK version so both worked well for me.

@@debra2700 I finally decided to give it chance and after a false star where I initially did not like it, I went back and now like it every bit as much as the UK version... I'm still mad HBO Max hasn't posted the final seasons of it though... Actually I think both versions are on Paramount+ niow but only up to season 2 for the UK...

@@JaimeWulf I had to pay for the last three seasons of the UK version on Amazon Prime because after watching two seasons on Paramount + I was hooked. Isn't it frustrating to have to jump around for these shows and pay more money to see them? I'm so glad you like the U.S. version!

The British version is the original show.

I think it does a pretty good job of encompassing the general theme of the series: times may change, but that doesn't mean the feelings go away.

I think the point along the way was that Alison helped them transition into the 21st Century and their home being a hotel, Spa and golf course would have largely kept them entertained…but alas, it was sad to see such a heartwarming and funny show end.

She did actually find a ghost free place once.

I’m going to Miss this program

I think the point is that both Betty and the ghosts had their own reasons for wanting to be so deeply involved in Alison and Mike's/the baby's lives, and it's not on the best interest of the new family. They're able to see that from the decision in S5E6 that Alison loves them as much as they do her, so (like with Mike's family) the ghosts can trust that them selling isn't going to be the end of their relationship. There's no way A&M can afford to turn the house into a business that fully supports them all, and it's already very unfair to Mike that he can't engage with the ghosts, but how much worse would it be for the baby - especially dealing with coming to understand your mum can see and talk with ghosts but noone else can, and you can never tell anyone, 'cos they won't believe you. That's a lot to put on a small child! I see it as they sell the estate, the golf company will get the place up and running fairly quickly (it was only going to take years for A&M to do it because they couldn't afford to hire the number of staff, etc, to do it quicker) and then the ghosts will have entertainment in the forms of both the builders and the guests/golfers. It's not the same as Alison, but we've seen them enjoy that before. Then most years Alison (& fam) can come and visit them, so it is still a family. Fanny is like a real mum, she gets to see Alison grow up enough to outgrow the family home and start her own, but she doesn't lose her. And being a golf place, they could potentially come for the of afternoon game as well, which is cheaper than it being only possible to see them if they book a suite.

But also, yes, it's very sad it all coming to an end, regardless of the quality of that ending. We all wanted more, but I think it's understandable that the team wanted to finish it while it was so high quality and popular, rather than risk not being able to keep up that standard. And knowing the 6 idiots they've probably got plenty of other ideas and projects they want to get working on

I think it does a pretty good job of encompassing the general theme of the series: times may change, but that doesn't mean the feelings go away.

Why does it have to be a competition?

LOL as you Americans say not even in the same ball park comparing the us ghosts with the English ghosts is like comparing Shakespeare to mark Twain

​@@ThePrincessCHOh I agree... it makes no sense to dis either show ....such a good plot to build characters with the two different versions...both are fun to watch and I enjoy the differences...it is not like tv viewing is overrun with good programs nowadays...sorry this one is ending as I feel there was so much left to experience...

The British version is the original and is full of charming British humour compared to the USA one which is obviously comedic in an American way

Yes it is. It's just a bit different.

Why does it have to be a competition?

There are elements I like about the UK version more than the US version and vise versa. Both about equal in my book

The British version is 1000% better than our US one. No contest.

It wasn’t

No-one intelligent hopes for such a thing.

@@DrWhoFanJI meant I pray. Anyone who watches this without wincing, well, I guess Australopithecus thought it was funny when Lucy slipped on a bifacial stone axe, but it’s not exactly Blackadder is it?

@@tikaalik Can you please at least finish any of your sentences rather than just devolving into word salad‽

So very sad to see it go!
