Ghosts, episode 2, review
Comedy with a silly ray of springtime sunshine and witty horror movie tropes.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 22nd April 2019Review: New comedy 'Ghosts' is good fun
Ghosts is first and foremost a fun, multi-character comedy that's jam-packed with jokes.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 16th April 2019Ghosts review
Beautifully designed and directed as well, I really don't have a negative word to say about it in the slightest.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 16th April 2019Deliriously silly new comedy from the team behind Horrible Histories, about a lineage of spectres who band together to haunt a couple turning their beloved country pile into a hotel. It has been given a rare post-watershed slot for the HH lot, but the tone here is mischievous rather than adult.
Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 15th April 2019Simon Farnaby on new BBC comedy Ghosts
The co-creator and star of Horrible Histories and Yonderland talks to Alexandra Pollard about his haunting new comedy, writing Paddington 2, and the "s**t-show" that is Brexit.
Alexandra Pollard, The Independent, 15th April 2019Ghosts review
So the Horrible Histories team have moved, via family-friendly Yonderland, into the realm of adult sitcom. Although there is nothing about Ghosts that remotely requires its post-watershed slot, beyond scenes of mile peril, and milder double entendre.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 15th April 2019TV review: Ghosts, BBC One
Not so much spine-tingling as spine-tickling comedy.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 15th April 2019Ghosts review
The new show from Horrible Histories may be the most unlikely comedy spinoff since Frasier, but what a glorious romp.
Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian, 15th April 2019Ghosts - review
Horrible Histories in reverse - made for grown-ups but also potentially enjoyable to kids.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 15th April 2019Ghosts, review
A young couple inherit a country pile and move in to start repairs. Its resident gaggle of bored ghosts have other ideas.
