A Christmas Gift

I simply cant hide my disappointment.

Ghosts has been such a brilliantly written and gentle sitcom over all five seasons, but this Christmas special should never have been made.

It would have been far better to have simply left things open and on a high after series 5. This is the lesson that should have been learned from now classic sitcoms such as 'Fawlty Towers or 'Father Ted'.

We really didn't need everything wrapped up in this heavy handed way. It might just about have worked in a one hour slot giving the audience a smoother ride to the cheesy ending.

Sadly it felt unbelievably rushed, over sentimental and worst of all pretty humourless, although in fairness the very last shot did raise a smile.

The absolute perfect ending to one of the best comedies on tv.

I'm always a bit wary of finales to a series these days. They're either rushed, lazy, completely implausible, full of plot holes or simply just amount to nothing.

Yet here was the exception. Right up until the last five minutes one still didn't know where it was going to go. However when the conclusion came in my opinion it could not have been done better.

One series which HAS ended too soon I'm sad to say but at least it went out on high.

Therefore a massive thanks to everyone involved with GHOSTS. You've made us howl with laughter & cry at the same time.

I finally feel ' Christmassy'

Please please give us a movie.

WELL DONE GUYS!

We have watched the lot laughed at the stories, the characters, the concept. The last series was announced and we thought why?

So through this last series the endings were starting, loose ends tied up. Old characters came and went once more a trundled up the Drive to the 'finale' - which sort of didn't happen. Until the Christmas special end. This however, didn't either.

It wasn't particularly funny, creative or adding of a new twist. It's fizzled like the glass of Prosecco, but ended up like a glass of two day old mulled wine left in a hallway.

Such a deflating end to a wonderful series, no real ending. However, may the creative team who wrote this go on to massive successes in whatever they do next.

This episode had some really good moments, a feel-good vibe, and a nice ending. However, it wasn't perfect due to avoidable problems, like the shadow of the ghost in the video camera and the ghosts visible in the mirrors hanging in the house. The baby woke up when ghosts sang to her. It's puzzling why other ghosts didn't disappear after one went to the afterlife, even after many years. Also, the finale should have focused only on the main lead characters of the show, instead of bringing in Mike's mom, even though she performed well. I don't know why these issues were there-perhaps slightly lazy writing or direction? Anyway, it's always fun to see Charlotte Ritchie and other characters.

The characters in this show were so good that I'm unable to watch the American version, not getting used to the actors in that show.

Overall, a nice Christmas episode with some small issues, but many, including me, will miss the show.

Ghosts has been a favorite in my household since the first time it aired. And while I am sad its come to a end, I can't have any complaints about the way it went about it. I won't say anything to spoil it for people. But I felt it was done in a great way, the entire episode was one of the funniest they have done. It had me a few times bursting out with laughter. Whilst I accept it might not gave been everyone's great ending, I think most people who would be negative about it are so as they didn't actually want the show to come to a end. But take the episode for what it is, a funny, charming relatable and at times emotional. They entire cast and crew ended it on a great note!
