Ghosts Fans Get Surprise Xmas Treat Despite Series End
Just when you thought Ghosts was waving goodbye, the beloved BBC comedy has a festive surprise up its sleeve! The team behind the hit show confirmed a Christmas special will air this year, even though the fifth series will be the last.
Final Series Kicks Off – But One Last Present Incoming
Ghosts took to social media to drop the bombshell: “The final series of Ghosts starts on Friday… but there might be one last present under the Christmas tree this year #BBCGhosts.” Fans can brace themselves for the last regular episodes starting Friday, October 6, at 8:30pm on BBC One, followed by a box set release on BBC iPlayer.
Iconic Christmas Comedy Classic
Ghosts has become a must-watch Christmas TV staple, with last year’s special drawing a whopping 5.9 million viewers — the top comedy of 2022. Critics fell head over heels too. Steve Bennett of Chortle called it “an adorable Christmas staple.” Carol Midgley of The Times praised it as “genuinely funny” for both adults and kids alike.
“We’re all better off with this joyful sitcom in our lives,” Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian
“Still among the most purely fun shows on British television,” David Craig, 1 Times
The Perfect Festive Farewell
Though the regular run ends this autumn, that surprise Christmas special means Ghosts will be spreading laughter and holiday cheer one last time. For fans, it’s a cheeky final gift to tuck under the tree – and they won’t want to miss it!
