About this deal

Andreeva, Nellie (4 March 2020). " 'iZombie' Star Rose McIver To Headline CBS Comedy Pilot 'Ghosts' ". Deadline Hollywood. The couple has successfully saved up enough money through their jobs and event bookings at Button House to continue renovations for their hotel project. Alison reconnects with Lucy and offers to loan her money to help Lucy's failing business. However, the ghosts uncover Lucy's true intentions as a con artist when they discover Lucy faked the photograph of Alison's father, which she used as proof of their blood relation. Meanwhile, Mike receives unexpected help from Julian while trying to film a video to promote Button House. Alison and Mike expose Lucy's scam before she can take their money.

Definitely. To have co-created something which people respond to in that way is just such a reward. It's everything. You think, “That's it. That's job done.” It’s an endless source of happiness. At first, the ghosts are not happy with the living couple's plans and conspire to get rid of the newcomers. After various failed attempts to scare them, one of the ghosts pushes Alison from an upstairs window, resulting in her being clinically dead for three minutes. When she awakens from an induced coma two weeks later, Alison discovers that her husband has arranged a huge mortgage, and that her near-death experience has given her the ability to see and hear the ghosts.

Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy at the BBC says:“We are officially in mourning for the end of this BBC Comedy Classic. We can’t thank the Ghosts team enough for five incredible series (not to mention some perfect Christmas Specials) and we can’t wait for BBC viewers to see the final series. We look forward to working with the team on new projects.”

With money running low, Mike and Alison allow the filming of a regency period drama in the house, Life of Byron. The ghosts react in different ways to the action in their home.

Pat teaches Mary about the art of filmmaking and discovers she has a natural talent. Robin the caveman is distracted by the studio lights, and struggles for dominance over the gaffer. Lady Fanny, unlike Kitty, is unhappy about the sex scene enacted in the bedroom. Meanwhile, Mike and Alison fail to inform the production of weight limitations imposed on the structure by the surveyors. Eventually, part of the floor collapses and the film crew promptly leaves. Definitely. We are not always all in together. So, there might be some days where we're missing a few, but the green room is constantly buzzing. No matter who's in there, whether it's three of us or all nine, it's constantly busy and chatty. There are so many anecdotes and stories. It's really fun. Those guys were already close because they had been working together for 12 years. It's really a great group to be around.

a b Hogan, Michael (15 April 2019). "Ghosts, episode 1, review: a retro house-share sitcom with some wonderfully goofy supernatural guests". The Daily Telegraph. Rufus Wright as Lord Bummenbach - A visiting Lord who brings a pineapple to the lunch Kitty and Eleanor’s father is hosting, on the day Kitty died, as a gift. Actually, I quite enjoy the process. I have a two-hour call for makeup and Martha has an hour-and-a-half call. So, we are makeup buddies. Just as we're finishing, the others turn up and comb their moustaches and put some wax in their hair. There’s something nice in always trying to perfect it all and finding little, tiny tweaks and improvements. At the start it took almost three and a half hours, but by the end we had we got it down to just under two hours. So, we refined the process. The makeup people are just phenomenal. They are always there before I am and they're still there when I leave – and my day’s long enough!Mathew Baynton as Thomas Angus Thorne – A melodramatic and easily-infatuated Romantic poet, who was fatally shot in a duel in 1824, orchestrated by his cousin, Francis Button (who married Thomas' own love interest and whose descendants came to inherit Button House). He falls in love with Alison at first sight, despite her being alive, married, and distantly related to him. [12] Charlotte Ritchie as Alison Cooper – A young woman who has inherited a mansion from Heather Button, a distant relative of unspecified relation. After a temporarily death-inducing experience caused by Julian pushing her out of a window, she is able to see, hear and interact with ghosts. [11]
