TV Review: Ghosts Series Three (2021)

Ghosts Series Three (2021) written, created by, and starring Matthew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, and Ben Willbond

See my reviews of series one and series two!

The travails of Alison and Mike continue through another series of adventures. Most of the episodes (seven in all) are self-contained stories, but an overarching story is establish when a half-sister to Alison shows up. At first Alison is excited, but when she is clearing up some paperwork with her solicitor and mentions her to him, he is concerned that the half-sister (who seems to be older) may have a prior claim over Button House. That awkwardness is compounded by the suspicions of some of the ghosts that this new long-lost sister (who only made the connection when Alison briefly appeared on a tv history documentary that filmed at Button House) is probably a fake.

The show continues to be a lot of fun, working well with the large cast of characters (eight ghosts and two living people is a lot of a half-hour sit-com). The actors are all on top form and the writing is great. I had a lot of fun watching.

Recommended, highly for fans of the previous seasons!
