Ghosts is a British sitcom which first aired on BBC One in April 2019. It stars a diverse and talented cast including Lolly Adefope, Mathew Baynton and Simon Farnaby. In the show, a young couple, Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe), inherit a grand but decrepit country estate that was once owned by a distant relative. However, they are not alone in the house, as it is home to a group of deceased former residents, each from a different period in history. Lolly Adefope plays Kitty, a vain and materialistic aristocrat from the 18th century who sees no problem in stealing from her living housemates. Mathew Baynton portrays Thomas, an introspective and anxious World War I soldier who is haunted by his experiences on the battlefield. Simon Farnaby plays Julian, a flamboyant and theatrical Georgian ghost who revels in the opportunity to perform. The ghosts are unable to leave the estate, and so Alison and Mike must coexist with them as they try to renovate the house and turn it into a hotel. While Alison initially struggles to come to terms with the presence of the supernatural, Mike is more accepting and even begins to build relationships with some of the ghosts. Throughout the series, the ghosts cause chaos and mischief as they interfere with Alison and Mike's attempts to restore the house. They also provide a humorous commentary on modern life, having been stuck in their respective eras for centuries. One of the strengths of the show is its use of witty dialogue and comedic timing. The cast perform with great energy and enthusiasm, delivering one-liners and physical comedy with ease. The characters are well-developed and each has their own distinct personality, making them all the more entertaining to watch. Ghosts has been praised for its unique premise and fresh take on the traditional sitcom format. The show cleverly mixes humor with heart-warming moments, exploring themes such as friendship, family, and redemption. The use of historical costumes and set design is also impressive, adding to the overall charm of the show. In conclusion, Ghosts is a delightful and entertaining sitcom with a standout cast and a fresh premise. It successfully blends humor and heart, making it a must-watch for fans of British comedy.
