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.

I was so disappointed this show was not still filming. I just found it and knew the series was not long like I am used to with American shows. I had no idea how they would pull off the end but they were really able to wrap it up nicely. I literally had tears in my eyes. I first started watching the American version and as much as I loved that - this is so much better. The acting and storylines were absolutely brilliant. I fell in love with all of the characters and laughed throughout all of the episodes. Only a couple of seasons were available for me to stream so I bought the dvd set because I live the show so much.

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!

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!

As a big fan of Ghosts, this was such a bitter disappointment. It really feels like they would have been better leaving it as it was left at the end of series five, rather than a short sentimental addendum to what had been a great programme throughout.

Don't get me wrong, it's not as bad as the God-awful Gavin & Stacey Christmas return from a few years ago. But it equally shouldn't have been made and Ghosts should have been left alone.

We had been looking forward to this for weeks, but it was just nothing TV that left us sitting there, open-mouthed, thinking 'really? Was that it." Sorry to the Ghosts team, but this was a huge miss.
