A young couple who are desperately trying to save up for their first home are shocked to learn that they are entitled to inherit a grand country estate from a distant relative. Their concerns that the windfall is too good to be true soon come to bear when they realize that the house is also home to the ghosts of its previous inhabitants. When the spirits learn that the couple are planning to turn the house into a hotel, they are horrified, and seek to make life as difficult as possible for the new owners.

One of the most consistently funny British sitcoms of the past 10 years. Go to Full Review Sarah Ditum The Times (UK) 01/02/2024
Ghosts has always been able to pull off pathos as well as gags, and the show earned its sentiment. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/28/2023

But the real beauty of Ghosts has always been its warmth as well as silly jokes. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 12/28/2023
4/5
Ghosts is usually crammed with quickfire one-liners. This farewell was a gentler, more melancholy affair, playing with the theme of relatives who outstay their welcome at Christmas. Go to Full Review Beth McMillan Starburst 10/24/2023

Pat B @RT67592582 Jan 7 One of the greatest shows ever made. Each season is hilarious (though it takes a few episodes in Season 1 for the necessary, underlying emotional connection to form) and clever and poignant. Brilliantly acted by the cast, and you can feel their chemistry as a group. Truly top-notch. See more Tom F @RT55173143 Sep 23 Not as good as the US version, all the characters are played as dumb or otherwise unsympathetic or over-the-top. A pleasant enough thing to watch and the ending struck a nice, sweet note. See more Mary W @RT03174119 May 15 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW and cried when it ended, don’t watch if you don’t want to get hooked!!! See more Jennifer S @OhJen 02/10/2025 Consistently fantastic through every season. Final episode was touching and bittersweet. See more Sj @sjasja 01/13/2024 loved it! a great wrap up and farewell. See more David W @Sternhammer 11/15/2023 One of my wife and I's favourite tv comedies of recent years. Loveable characters, very well written scripts and a fantastic acting ensemble. We're very sorry it's ended but at least there's the Xmas special to look forward to as the shows true final episode. It's been a wonderful show from start to finish and one that will live long in our memory. See more Read all reviews
