Part of the Family

My favorite eoisode of Ghosts. Charming, beautiful, and whimsical. I adore this cast - I especially love Charlottte Richie, who plays Alison, with such sincerity. "Yes, and" more please.

This season might have been the best season of ghosts. Kitty's story was awesome, episodes were lol, Charlotte Ritchie was amazing as usual. There are still so many stories that can be told in the 4th season so please don't give up, we need another season. It's sad enough that Americans are copying this show, we do want to watch many more seasons of this comedy drama.

I am compelled to put quill to parchment to emphasise my enthusiasm for this incredible show season 3 has been consistently brilliant and the finale was just perfect I think I may have seen all the series several times now and I still laugh at the same gags just like in the previous episode when poor Robin missed doing Zumba. The writing feels effortless but I'm sure lots of hard work and many hours are put in to make it work. It never feels tired or worn the jokes are fresh and the actors/writers have great chemistry the whole series has had me wondering what was going to happen and I won't spoil it but there is hope for more. The way Lady B says murder SHE, wrote is simple but great excellent finale for an excellent show please keep them coming 4,5,6 series at least. Please don't stop!

Though I was a little too old for the "Horrible histories" show, I was eager to try the creative teams attempt at a traditional sitcom, when it began back in 2019. Whilst I thought the first season was amiable enough, the second saw an uptick in quality; a funnier series, but also one with added pathos. This third run doesn't quite match its predecessor in terms of bittersweet stories, but it is just as funny.

A documentary team comes to the house to report on an assassination plot that involved one of the houses dead residents. Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) ends up on camera explaining how she came to own Button House - which inspires a mystery woman, Lucy (Jessica Knappett) to make contact and explain that she's Alison's half-sister. Though the ghosts, and Alison herself are wary, Alison is very eager to have the family she missed out on. Meanwhile, Mike's (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) desire to see the ghosts for himself sees him exploring the paranormal, but has an unexpected outcome.

I'm not sure what more I can add to the review other than it's more of the same. Again the show mixes in a season long story, this time the revelations about Alison's sister, with dives into the history of the ghost characters, and their experiences. The focus episodes this time are on Lolly Adefope's Kitty and her deep-seated denial about her life with her sister and Humphrey, played by Laurence Rickard and the plot he was involved in, and the accident that finished him off.

If you want me to be hypercritical, perhaps the resolution of the Lucy storyline could have come in a shrewder manner, or something more related to the fact that they're ghosts but I'm really trying hard there to pick at something, when the storyline was fine.

Though it ends at a suitable point in the story, I do think I'd like to see at least one season with the venue open for business and the interaction with more patrons, plus we don't know how The Captain, or Kitty came to perish and it appears that Mike's meddling might have opened a door that needs closing. Come on BBC, one more season.

One of those Rare shows that get better with each season they do - fingers crossed for another series - so much potential to continue the ghost backstories or see Button house open as Hotel.
