In pictures: the house where Ghosts is filmed

For many people West Horsley Place is better known as Button House, the home that features in popular BBC comedy 'Ghosts'.

Megan Stanley, Get Surrey, 4th September 2021

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.

Review: Ghosts will haunt our screens for years

If any current sitcom has a hope of being repeated 40 years from now, bet on Ghosts (BBC1). It's very funny - but so were lots of great comedies that have faded into obscurity.

Ghosts series three review

Hard-drinking toff Barclay Beg-Chetwynde seems set to be the next member of the phantom troop, in the only TV show that would benefit from bumping more people off.
