I like how all of Alison’s pranks on the other ghosts are comparatively low key and unserious, and then with Thomas she goes right for the jugular and drives him to the brink of a mental breakdown.

bbc ghosts’ mike is the ultimate wife guy. accepts that his wife can see ghosts almost immediately and doesn’t really gaf. his wife makes him stop tasks or take the long way around otherwise simple things because of the ghosts that he can’t see and cannot tell are there and he’s chill. quits his job in a day because he had a nice phone call. his wife has to do a ghost funeral during an important event for their shared business and he pulls it off anyway. owns a bear. cool guy

I just love how Cap went from "you're considered an enemy insurgent" to becoming a father figure for Allison.

I think one thing people (including Fanny when she tries to insult Allison by saying she isn't "Living up to the family name") forget about Allison is that YES she is a Button. She is the Buttonest Button. And I do mean that in the fondest and most negative way possible.
She is Francis's 7/8 times great-granddaughter. She is George's something-th cousin something-removed. And boy does she show it.
There is a reason she gets along so well with Julian. She is every bit as ruthless, cunning, thoughtless, and reckless as the other Buttons. She will absolutely commit fraud, blackmail, lie or cheat to get what she wants. Like, she hasn't killed any innocents, but who knows? Maybe Allison just hasn't met the right innocent, standing in front of the right goal (I don't think she would, but idk).
To be clear, I love her. It's just always interesting when she sees something she wants and gets that "I'll do anything for this" Button glint in her eye. Followed by Fanny (famous Button murder victim) howling that she is "disgracing the family" and no Button would act like that.

BBC Ghosts Bird AU
@m1nts and I cooked so have a bird AU
In this AU Alison is an ornithologist who moves with Mike into Button House and notices a really strange combination of birds that live by the lake so she decides to study them
Mike is your average person who just knows that birds are birds and that's about it and Alison has to constantly stop him from feeding them bread
The Captain is a pigeon (because messenger pigeons were used in the war), but since pigeons don't live that long he's a trained race pigeon that got left behind when the old owner moved (because this is his home dammit)
Also they look like they have mustaches
Havers is a Great Reed Warbler that migrates to Africa every winter
Pigeon Cap gets visibly depressed when his warbler bf is gone
Kitty is a Skylark who kinda just started following Cap around one day and does little head bops at the other birds to get them to dance with her
Robin is a tawny owl because moon and hunting, it's also very silly to see a big owl interact with all the little birds, especially Kitty
Mary and Annie are northern cardinal gfs (yes because the feathers look like fire)
Fanny is a duck and she has an absolute blast swimming around the pond and aggressively quacking at all the other birds for funsies
Pat's a dunnock cuz they're garden birds common to Yorkshire
Julian is a European Shag because YES that IS a real bird
Thomas is a nightingale whose mate got stolen by his cousin
After Allison and Mike move in, he warms up to her and sits on her shoulder singing all day, which confuses them both, especially when the tiny little nightingale tries to attack Mike, but hey, she's the bird whisperer now I guess
Humphrey is a chicken because they can survive with their head chopped off
The plague ghosts are a murder of crows that come by to visit (and steal the bird seed Allison puts out) every now and then
bird photos for reference under the cut:

Okay, I've watched this episode at least 30 times now and I just... can't stop thinking about this all from Mike's POV.
First, you're in a house alone with ghosts for a night and fall asleep with your (uneaten) trifle.
And then wake up to the TV falling to the floor
And notice very creepy doll WINKING AT YOU across the room
When you call your wife (from the impenetrable fortress of your wardrobe) to tell the little swindlers off she tells you you're being robbed
"If you can hear me knock three times"🤦♀️
The ghosts say there are TWENTY BURGLARS IN THE HOUSE
Literal diehard moment
Stuck between burglars while wondering through the house
And then you fall over in a full suit of armour.
He had one hell of a night.

Can I just say, thank fuck Julian didn't actually succeed in killing Allison. Imagine the awkwardness of the "introduction to Ghostdom" conversation when one of the guys giving you that talk is your murderer. Then you have to spend eternity with him.

Allison should just sit Fanny down with some Reddit stories. I think she’d love them

Inspired by a post I saw on my dash, I think there should be an Allison and Rachel Fawcett episode in which Rachel is just the most well-adjusted, lovely person and Allison is committing crimes left and right with advice from Julian
