The morning routine of a house full of ghosts | Ghosts - BBC 

Your lady wife? As opposed to your gentleman wife?

That's brilliant! :)

Thanks for the info!

@@khansahb-o4e "My lady wife" is how I refer to my lady wife when speaking formally. This is regarded as a gentlemanly way to do it.

Please excuse me my question, I am German, how is the sentence "they are smashing people who are really enjoying their show" meant? I don't understand the meaning correctly! By the way, I love your gentlemanly way to write! 🙂💖👍

Love it! 😻🇬🇧

That was cute.

Cos of George 6, Queen Liz's dad, being King when The Cap was alive.

Captain is my fave character 😂

@@carlbirtles4518 George V, the Queen's grandfather

Lady Button: 👀

it makes me so happy i know the context bahahahha

Yes, just like 0:13, when he says, "If music be the food of love..." My mind goes back to the Shakespeare song. "...play on."

"Then Stuarts rule so Charles the first, the one who lost his head"

@@yourmammu Yes😆✨

@@avaraytrujillo859 SAME

I have started watching series 1 to 3 again for the second time and see things in it that I didn't see the first two times. Like when Alison returns from hospital and asks what little things they want other than for her and Mike to move out of the house and they give requests for their favourite TV programmes, books and music. Robin wants to do the cryptic crossword everyday and Alison writes the answers down for him.

The 1980s Tory MP who died with his trousers off is my favourite - he's had some choice lines this series. The romantic poet has also been very good this series as well. But Alison (and the actress playing her) is superb ... anchors the show beautifully as she straddles the line between the ghosts that only she can hear, and the potential customers of her attempts to stave off bankruptcy by turning the haunted house into a wedding venue (as you do!)

@@jazzx251 It is really clever acting by Charlotte and Keili and very difficult. There were strange stories of Tory MP'S dying in sex games.

Series 1 Robin was a standout for me

@@jazzx251 My wife and I enjoy Robin the caveman.. that he's brighter than the lot of 'em! We especially like that the Tory MP is a good deal thicker than Robin is... Ha!

ArE tHeRe AnY aSiAnS????

Of course a Romantic poet would vibe with The Cure!

@@natyoung7755 exactly!

my favourite thing is sending him dancing to the cure to my the cure obsessed friend

@@tutdunsthemouse I loved it. That was the first song I listened to by them. My Goth heart is overflowing.

God me too ahaha. I saw the Christmas special a few days ago and Thomas crying about The Smiths was hysterical to me

*berk

As someone who relates heavily to Thomas, I was personally offended by that 😂 To such a degree, that I said 'leave me alone!' Out loud

Who is the person singing ? I don’t get the joke lol

@@MekkaSG Robert Smith of the Cure. Julian was probably having a go at him.

It took me three tries to realize that Robin said “Ticket” and not “D***head”

To be fair, Julian is a bit of a d-head.

@@carlbirtles4518 He's definitely a d-head. But a hilarious one.

I love how Robin subtly defends his fellow ghosts when they are upset. He cheered up a melancholy Pat on his death day, reminding him that family remains in your heart 🥺. He reminded an upset Kitty at the party that (he) always feels better after a little cry. He listens to the Captain's talk about military weaponry in the garden after everyone leaves him. So many small, subtle instances of Robin's too big heart.

I am too now, Lockdown has been great as I discovered them, through Ghosts. And realised that I knew Jim on the Peep Show and in Broadchurch, and Simon narrated the documentary on Richard III and was lovely in it....And that Mat had been in Gavin and Stacey.

@@emmyjo720 Broadchurch is still on my to-do list. I've read and heard very positive things about it :)

@@FBWL-u1r It is a great Lockdown treat....David Tennant and Olivia Coleman are always worth the time

@@FBWL-u1r David Tennant, Olivia Colman and Jodie Whittaker are in it. It's a good show.

@@emmyjo720 I discovered them randomly 3 years ago, & it's been amazing to see HH become hugely popular again cos of Ghosts :) It was a good time to fall in love with them, cos I found the announcement of Ghosts so I knew they were still making stuff together, & I had something to look forward to- & it was WELL worth it!!

They have the first 2 seasons on HBO MAX if you have that.

@@TheKensta88 Thank you so much!

oh god this is EXACTLY what it is, even soundtrack feels similar :D :D

@@DonBean-ej4ou yes don get ur groove on x

YES! that's the vibe I was picking up!

Me too........ Loved her sentence " What be a Tootsie " in moona stone episode Lol😂😂😂

Her character is so good! I just noticed that when Allison first walks into the room, we don't see Mary. (Missed it the first few times)

That was the joke that made me watch this brilliant series

I was gutted when she got sucked off😢

That was brilliant - great episode too. All six of these were great.

I don't know who came up with this joke but thank you it was so so good. I was having a drink of juice when I was watching this and when Jim (Pat) said: "Just write 2" I spat it all.

That was so good that bit

Just write 2!!!

I love that bit

Loneliness is a common theme for all of the ghosts.

series 3 has already been commissioned and written!

@@isobelselwyn4342 Though Lockdown will delay the filming, plus many are having to home school children, including four of the Six Idiots. They used zoom meetings to get the writing finished.

@@emmyjo720 i know! everyone's gotta make allowances now, but it's nice to have it at least in the future rather than the show ending at series 2 :)

I tried to watch it on something called ipak but it doesn't play in USA

I don't like her

@@EveryoneElseIsWeirdImNormal Why not?

@@Dervs-pb5ey 1) she's so quiet in comparison to everyone else that you can barely hear her 2) she can't speak properly 3) she's a witch *how know she's a witch* well she turned me into newt *a newt?* ... Got better 4) she just sorta makes the show a bit cluttered

@@EveryoneElseIsWeirdImNormal ?

I fear that Mary has a really harrowing tale of her death. I like her learning to read and her wide eyed wonder at the world.

Well they wrote the show

They co created and co wrote the show too! And they all play 2 ghosts (a plague victim basement ghost too) and Larry plays both Robin and Humphrey's head. And Katy Wix (Mary the West Country witch trial victim) also was an ensemble actor in the first 4 series of HH

And 'If music be the food of love, play on' bc one of Mat's recurring characters in HH was Shakespeare and he did a whole big band song as Shakespeare aha

yessss it's a show called ghosts and it's amazing!! it's on iplayer

Series 2 ... you've got some catching up to do! CHOP! CHOP! Come along now!

Always has been

yep! also known as "the six idiots" or "them/there", they enjoyed working together and have done multiple things together since horrible histories! including yonderland, bill the film, and most recently ghosts

Season 1 was great! So looking forward to more.

I love that bit :D

same he was beheaded near me 😊

@@engagingathena9965Sir Walter Raleigh, whose widow ended up living at the house used in the show, is from a village very close to me. He was beheaded like Humphrey.

if you have HBO MAX all the episodes of season 1 are there its a great laugh especially if you're a fan of horrible histories.

@@shogunfawkes Nope. I’m in Canada. Ghosts is not available on any of the available streaming platforms, nor other premium channels. I’ll have to hope that someday we will be able to get access to all these episodes. 🤞🏼

Torrents exists, my dudes (although you need to wait a bit). Or if you wanna stay legal, just use VPN

@@cypherusuh I’ve done torrents in the past. Finding the right ones and hoping they aren’t malware is just too much hassle. Vpn though. Been a few years. I wonder if they’ve figured out a way to trick hulu once more. 🤔

I'm the same situation regarding Star Trek Lower Decks!

Descendant? What are you talking about?

In the "Horse" bit I was thinking about the "H! A! N! D! Hand! Yeah okay" quote from Taskmaster. So fitting.😂

do u believe in ghosts?

​@@alireardon6664 do you ? And if you do...do they listen to the cure? Lol

Sadly, they've decided to wrap it up with the final 5th series (we're getting one final Christmas special). The BBC were very open to commissioning more of it, but they decided to finish on a high and not jump the shark and become part of the furniture so to speak (like a lot of shows seem to do) They've been working together for almost 15 years and are an established comedy troupe, and are still working together. They've already been discussing other plans.

@@oliviadaly4795 Yeah, I posted that over two years ago, before they had even announced renewal for S4. It became pretty clear shortly after that that the Six Idiots were only going to do 5 seasons - Larry at least basically said as much in interviews, and I think others did, too. It makes perfect sense, and I think they're wise to write a complete, wrapped story, and not drag it on. I was saying so well before even S5 was announced for renewal.

Welcome to British television!

I love each of them, some more than others but Robin is definitely in my top 3.

🤣🤣 Even explaining love making sex is iffy to an adult. Albeit it is for 18th century naive lady.

Although, there is a little wild orchid which disguises itself as a female bee, scent mimic and all, so male bees will have sex with it, in order to transfer pollen. Close?

He uses a lot of the same lines in both Ghosts and HH. They should introduce Death and Rattus Rattus into Ghosts as well.

The irony of Humphrey reading it is too funny tho

Mathew played Charles II, I think another actor played Charles I.

@@fabulousmyriad267 well he did play him

Same

If you see something about the BBC 'axing' it, just know it's not the BBC. The co writers have made a mutual decision to end at S5 to work on new projects.

@@oliviadaly4795 BBC really has beautiful and unique shows. Nice to know. Thanks...

I use VPN but I can only watch on my mobile phone. I want to watch on TV.

You can watch it on bbc iplayer in Singapore so I binge-watched two seasons of it.

It is the original concept the HH gang co wrote (original Horrible Histories is on Hulu and also brilliant) But it works well in every country

I honestly think both are treasures.

Agree. This is really fun to watch!

U.S. citizen here with a few of things to share about the U.S. version of Ghosts: 1) The couple, Sam and Jay, inherited a mansion from Sam's great aunt who passed away, and the show takes place in New York State where Sam is a journalist and Jay is a chef. 2) There are over a dozen ghosts in the mansion in the U.S. version (8 main and several minor), about half are similar to their U.K. version counterparts, but the other half are either a mix of 2 of the U.K. ghosts or completely original. 3) Sam and Jay only inherited the mansion and they sold everything to turn it into a bed & breakfast, so there is a recurring plot point in the show about them needing the business to work or else they're gonna have to move. And 4) The episodes are about 8 minutes shorter then the U.K. version, so the jokes are more fast paced then the U.K. version (at least from what I have seen of it). I do enjoy both versions if Ghosts and hope more people from the U.S. and the U.K. watch some episodes of both to make a fair comparison of the 2.

Apparently she heard you :)

You have an unhealthy hatred of working class Americans.

And how is that working out? Enjoy the illegals pouring over the border? Gas up a dollar a gallon? Thousands of people losing their jobs when Keystone was shut down, yet Russia got the go ahead to build theirs? Need I go on? Because I can.

@@saran.4001 it’s going splendidly! Those illegals as you call them don’t really affect daily life. Gas was already on the way up during Trump and employment is going up. Stock market is great. Best of all, we don’t have a reality star performance artist in the White House but a responsible human being instead.

@@free22 Biden has dementia. Gas was not going up it has been 6months is is up over a dollar a gallon. Employment is not going up because nobody will work thanks to you democrats paying people to stay home. Do name one positive thing Biden has done, now in this administration or ever in his entire career. You can't. Hey, and he caused the Middle East to fire back up by giving Iran money, which funds Hamas. Nice going.

It's on HBO MAX if you have that.
