[TV] Ghosts

[Dave the OAP]

Anyone on here really enjoying the bbc comedy on Monday nights?

It is one of those really gentle humour shows that doesn’t require much thinking about.

After a long day at work, it is a really good antidote to all the crap in the world at the moment.

is that the one by the people who did horrible histories?

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Agreed
Nicely written and very silly show from the Horrible Histories crew. Works for me.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Brilliant...As is Yonderland...

These people are modern day comedy greats imo

 

[Monkey Man]

Really watchable comedy in my opinion, funny all the way through in a gentle sort of way. Simon Farnaby is becoming one of my favourite comic actors.

Yonderland was good but started to get a bit over-engineered I thought. I kind of lost interest after a while. With Ghosts the set-up is a bit simpler and the characters are strong.

 

[Superphil]

Love the disgraced MP living in perpetuity with no trousers on.

BBC and comedy is the same sentence, I don't believe it

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Will have to catch it on iPlayer.

Simon Farnaby is always good value. Loved his character in Detectorists.
Is Mathew Baynton in it too?

After the first 10 minutes, the missus (El Capitan has enforced the law that all missus should be described as missus from now on) and I were ready to throw in the towel but fair to say it has really grown on us.

Ghosts has been quite fun but Mum returned this week on BBC2. Final series unfortunately.

 

[Easy 10]

Its ok, but its no Citizen Khan.

 

[Igzilla]

Just watched the first two episodes back to back - highly enjoyable. Will encourage the missus to watch.

Agree with both points. (Took Yonderland off the planner). Ghosts is hardly cutting edge, but as has been said it's a gentle comedy to unwind to with the odd chuckle. Seen worse, much worse.

Its true

 

[Jack Straw]

Absolutely love it. The bit where they were dancing around the table, lead by the Stone-Age bloke in last Monday's episode had me in stitches!

 

[Stato]

Its ok, but its no Citizen Khan.

Freedom For Tooting!

[Questions]

I’ve just watched 15 minutes of it. Feck me I can’t believe how dreadful it is........ I despair of you lot.
I’m actually yearning for a Brexit discussion now.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Slow start but got better and better . Loved it

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

I initially did not bother with it as looked dire, but then saw an episode....and really like it. Gentle nonsense, quietly amusing and.....nice.

 

[Wellesley]

I like it. I find the two lead characters very amiable. It doesn't try too hard by being shouty or coarse which is quite refreshing.
