Has anyone else been watching this? I've just finished season 1 and it's hilarious.
It's written by and stars the Horrible Histories team.
Alison and Mike are a young married couple who are trying to buy their first home but are stuck looking at tiny flats. Then a distant relative of Alison's dies and she inherits Button House, which is a large country house. Unfortunately, there's no money to go with it. Even more unfortunately, the house is in desperate need of renovations. Even more unfortunately, the house is home to a whole bunch of ghosts who hate this young upstart couple who've moved in.
Well, apart from Thomas, a Romantic-era poet, who's fallen in love with Alison and wants her to get a divorce, kill herself, and marry him.
The ghosts set about trying to drive them out. Almost literally, in Alison's case, as one ghost pushes her out of a window. However, her near death experience leads to her being able to see the ghosts she's now stuck living with.
Alison and Mike. She can see ghosts and he's terrible with finances.
Kitty is a young Georgian lady who soon decides Alison will be her BFF.
Thomas is the lovestruck poet.
Julian's an MP who died in the middle of a sex romp (and it took me ages to notice he's not wearing trousers). He's the one who shoved Alison out of the window.
Lady Button is an Edwardian relative of Alison's and she's very disappointed with the newest heir.
Pat is a very polite and helpful Scoutmaster who died thanks to an accident during an archery lesson.
Robin is a caveman who's been there since before the house was even built.
The Captain was stationed at Button House during WW1; he's obsessed with his rank and being in charge.
Mary was a maid who was burned as a witch. She can make people smell burnt toast.
At one point, Alison attempts to distract the ghosts with episodes of Friends. The Captain decides he's Chandler (which is especially funny as the Captain is in the closet and everyone kept thinking Chandler was gay), while Thomas asks Alison, "Pray tell, how you doing?"
The series is silly and fun. I'm really enjoying it. The episodes are 30 minutes long, and there's only 2 seasons plus a Christmas special so far.
