Warning: This article contains spoilers for series five of Ghosts

Somehow, the final series of Ghosts has neatly tied up all the show’s loose ends while still leaving us wanting more – which is a jolly good thing considering they’ve confirmed we’re getting one more Christmas special in December 2023.

They really packed a lot into those last six episodes, revealing the heartbreaking truth behind the deaths of Kitty and the Captain, showing Alison and Mike’s next step in life, and giving the whole gang the opportunity to say all the lovely, touching things fans wanted to hear (as well as adding a poignant reference to Mary in the opening credits).

Taking the characters on these final journeys involved lots of flashbacks and new faces, so let’s recap all the most important guest stars from series five:

Anna Crilly as Joy Kielty

Joy is an unexpected visitor in episode one,...

She's Anna, she's Katy, and together they are Anna and Katy!

A couple of years after their well-received Comedy Lab, Anna Crilly and Katy Wix have finally got their own full-length sketch show, which starts this Wednesday on Channel 4.

As big fans of sketch, Digital Spy were very excited to sit down with the duo to quiz them about comedy, controversy, and sharing an award nomination with Rylan Clark. Here's what they had to say.

When did you decide to start doing sketch together?

Anna: "We met doing stand-up in 2003 and we weren't very good at it! Either of us. We both thought each other were funny."

Katy: "Dreadful... I hadn't really seen any comedy, that was my problem."

Anna: "I certainly wasn't ready to do an hour of stand-up at Edinburgh the following year. So I said to old Wixy, 'Let's get together and do some sketches'. And the rest is herstory.

Channel 4 has unveiled details of the comedies which will air during its third Comedy Showcase season. Among the shows which will be broadcast is Coma Girl, which stars Lead Balloon's Anna Crilly as a young woman in a coma. The show follows her old school friends - played by Him & Her's Sarah Solemani, Not Going Out's Katy Wix and The It Crowd's Katherine Parkinson - as they meet at Lucy's bedside. As Lucy becomes more aware of her surroundings, the comedy begins exploring moments from her subconscious. Elsewhere, The Angelos Neil Epithemiou Show stars Dan Skinner as Angelos. The studio-based show will feature various characters, include celebrity guests and involve audience interaction. The programme is also described as a mix of slapstick, dancing, magic and singing.
