Because some of us find it funny.

'us' is probably stretching the point.

At least Mrs Browns Boys and Miranda now have a serious challenger for the worst comedy series.

Saw Ghost at the Dome a few years ago without really hearing much of their stuff. A very strange evening and I came out unsure of what I had seen and heard but intrigued. Really got into them after that and the last album is the most accessible for new fans. Went to the Wembley gig in 2019 which was great.

Anyone who likes their rock music on the inventive side will enjoy them.

I was aware of Ghost, part of the Swedish scene I love: Horisont and Graveyard et al but failed miserably to give them much of a listen until a chance hearing of He Is drew me in… I find myself captivated by the artistry of Tobias and co and his mesmerising stage presence in particular… it’s an hypnotic mix, which requires a bit of suspension of disbelief at times BUT it rocks.

I intend to see them live as soon as I can.

Any band that can drop this entirely at random, are verging on knowing genius… simple as that:

Big shout out to all the Scandi rock and prog bands that feed my music machine x

That's OK. You leave me ghosts and you can keep your Mrs Brown and Alan Partridge.

Afraid Mrs Brown can stay where she is. No fan of that either. As for Partridge, used to be good but, in my view, not anymore.

How can you not love a song with the lyrics:

If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

 

[GT49er]

If you need to flush any ghostly shit out of your mind tank, try this.

Can't even spell their name right. Strongly suspect I would probably prefer white noise.........

Indeed, I love their cover versions too... here comes the sun is wonderfully dead pan and yet alluring with it. Sparks spring to mind when I hear them and that, above all else, tells me I'm witnessing something musically important and (yes) worthy.

Burn the none believers says I.

Does anyone know why this is on tv at prime time?

Ghosts is a very well written, funny, sometimes thought provoking comedy. So, nothing like Mrs Brown's Boys.

Ghosts actress Charlotte Ritchie, what's not to like

 

[Bakero]

I'm actually just watching an episode for the first time now and finding it rather funn

 

[Seagull27]

I've really enjoyed the first 2 seasons, it's nowhere near the same category as Mrs Brown's Boys. Some very subtle humour mixed in with the more obvious family-friendly jokes.

Agree, it's one of the best comedies on at the moment and one of the few that isn't a cringe mockumentary style thing

 

[keaton]

And surely this is the greatest track related to ghosts, though it's not 80s

[Uh_huh_him]

I'm a big fan of Ghosts.

Family friendly(ish), well written and engaging sitcom.

Back in the day….

Golly, not heard this theme for 30+ years! They don't write theme tunes nor devise iconic kids tv programmes like that anymore. We never had it so good.
