Ghosts behind the scenes!!

Happy Five Years Ghosts!!

On this day five years ago Ghosts broadcasted its first episode on BBC One not knowing how popular it would become and how much it would change people’s lives.

In honor of this day Kiell put three pictures on his instagram story

Two of them being the first picture he took and then the last picture he took. Plus a bonus one of him doing the roof scene in About Last Night

Again Happy Five Years Ghosts we will all miss this show tremendously and we are so proud of how far it’s come. Big thank you to the cast,crew and everyone who was apart of ghosts and worked on the show you guys are incredible 🤍👻

Ghosts is available to watch from start to finish on BBCIPlayer

Since the announcement that two or three new versions of Ghosts are in the works, I've been thinking about what sort of ghosts we might get to see / I'd like to see in a German adaptation and put together a list of my ideas. You will see some similarities with our beloved original ghosts as well as completely new characters, and I did my best to find a balance between male and female characters and include a variety of historical eras.

This is obviously just a very basic list with some notes but I do have thoughts about these characters (how they died, what powers they might have, their inner conflict etc.) so if you'd like to know more, please ask (also German producers, I hereby officially volunteer as tribute writer)!

German Ghosts

Female Neanderthal (40,000 BC)

Neanderthals were named after the German Neander valley so I think it's only fair to include a Neanderthal in the show. Since no one needs a Robin 2.0, I'd make the character female and give her a dog because ghost animals are fun and we need more of them.

Roman & German (9 AD)

Two guys - let's call them Marcus and Alber - who fought on opposite sides died in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, became ghosts and eventually best friends. They'd rather die again than admit that to anyone, though.

Bog Girl (600 AD)

A little girl who haunts the marshlands around the house but not the property itself. Most of the ghosts avoid her until the Naturalist gets curious and starts to befriend her.

Plague Ghosts (Mid-1600s)

A group of victims of the 30 Years' War whose deaths were caused by famine and disease and not the war directly (though they insist they died 'in the war').

Naturalist (Late 1700s)

A scientist like Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin who embraces becoming a ghost from the get go and does various experiments (on himself and the others) to figure out how ghost rules work and what is and isn't possible.

Composer (Early 1800s)

A young composer who has a (perceived) rivalry with Beethoven because he's lost part of his hearing. Think German equivalent of Thomas Thorne.

Female Soldier (Early 1800s)

Based on stories like that of Friederike Krüger, this woman posed as a man and joined the army during the Napoleonic Wars.

Woman in White (Late 1800s)

The lady of the house at the time. After she died in childbirth, she was forced to watch her husband's mistress raise her daughter. She died wearing her white nightgown (something she is quite embarrassed about) and can be seen in pictures.

WW1 Surgeon (1930s)

Another former owner of the house, this man was a surgeon in WW1 and still carries the trauma of that time with him (think Siegfried from All Creatures Great and Small).

Luftwaffe Pilot (1940s)

Remember the two German pilots from BBC Ghosts? This guy was their friend and has always wondered what happened to them. He crash-landed on the grounds during a training exercise.

Estate Agent (early 2020s)

A woman who took over the house after the last owner passed away. While assessing the property, she had a heart attack and died there, leading to rumours about the house being cursed and haunted increasing.

The House

While the house will probably be a manor house like in the original series, I think it would be fun if this version of the show shook things up a little and had the German Coopers inherit an old mill, or perhaps even an actual (small) castle.

thinking about how Ben was in Horrible Histories and The Thick of It at the same time

like what kind of crack (/appreciatively) was the casting director smoking that they saw him play Henry VIII and went "he'd be perfect as an angry lib dem actually"

Can’t sleep, who wants to fancast a Six Idiots version of A Christmas Carol with me?

… Baynton as Bob Cratchit, amirite?

#six idiots

[king-elder-vex]

i’m always forgetting that the captain is the only canonically queer character in ghosts. like we’re all supposed to believe that robin has been strictly heterosexual for 10,000 years, that mary and annie were just besties, that julian fawcett mp (disgraced) didn’t exchange cheeky handjobs with the lads at boarding school?? crazy
