Now juggling day jobs with their endless renovations, Mike and Alison are both penniless and exhausted when a luxury hotel chain makes them an offer they can't refuse.

But the spectre of Alison's departure drives a wedge between the Ghosts, and the hardline Captain finds himself ostracised while Pat is voted in as reluctant leader. While the clueless spirits brainstorm money-making schemes, the Captain takes matters into his own hands.

Meanwhile, fortune smiles on Headless Humphrey in his ceaseless search for his errant body.

Press

Many will miss this joyful sitcom in which a hapless couple battle to get the better of the incorporeal inhabitants they have inherited along with a mansion. As the hilarious series from the people behind Horrible Histories and Yonderland comes to a close, a greedy hotel chain sets its sights on Button Hall.

Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 20th May 2019
