Ghosts Series Four (2022)

Ghosts Series Four (2022) written, created by, and starring Matthew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, and Ben Willbond

See my reviews of series oneseries two, and series three!

Another set of adventures are in store for Alison and Mike, two owners of a grand English estate called Button House. The property is haunted by a bunch of ghosts from the history of the land, starting from a caveman all the way up to a smarmy 1990s politician. They all died there and have not moved on yet. Alison can see them since she had a knock on the head. The ghosts are a bit tedious at times, demanding a lot of attention and not respecting personal space or time. They try to be helpful at times, with mixed results.

Alison and Mike's plan to rent out the guest house finally comes to fruition, causing them a lot of stress as B&B hosts who want good ratings and more customers. Typical shenanigans ensue. There was a surprising moment when one of the ghosts moved on, which is played for laughs and pathos quite effectively.

Mildly recommended--you could jump into the series here but it's better to have more of the backstories to the characters.
