Kiell Smith-Bynoe

Last week saw the return of Ghosts (BBC One), the offbeat sitcom from many of the cast of Horrible Histories and Yonderland , in which young couple Alison and Mike (Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe) live in a crumbling mansion full of bickering ghosts, including a caveman, a trouserless Tory MP and a witch-burning victim.

The opening episode explained how one of the spectral residents managed to lose his head. By now, three series in, you either enjoy the innocent spookiness of Ghosts or you don't. My own barely concealed inner goth can't help but be charmed. The show has inconsistencies (ghostly hands slide through people but can pick up TV remotes), but whatever, it's not a documentary. Its superpower is that it's reminiscent of a lost Ealing film-style Britishness; so much so that I was surprised to hear that a US version is in production. Ghosts is about as scary as a ghost train ride in broad daylight, but it's always a hoot.

Why BBC's Ghosts doesn't need a fourth season

An action-packed blend of laughs and cultural references with a heartwarming bond running through it, Ghosts has been a delight to watch. It has truly peaked with its third instalment and that's why it's the right time to close the door.

More flashbacks, more backstories, and a big emotional journey for Alison - that's a taster of what Series 3 of Ghosts has in store.

Bloods review

For a show that features crack addicts, multi-vehicle pile-ups and a cardiac arrest, Bloods is surprisingly silly.
