The talented cast of Ghosts has appeared in many iconic British movies and TV series over the years, from Sex Education to Paddington 2. The core cast often collaborates on projects together, bringing humor, elaborate costumes, and fun performances to the screen.
While Ghosts uses a humorous tone to convey its story, many other ghost shows delve into the sentimentality and unfinished business that ghosts often bring with them, making the show more about their personal problems rather than finding fun ways to interact with supernatural creatures.
Horrible Histories is the children's history show that brought most of the core cast of Ghosts together, and it is based on the Terry Deary set of informational books. The series aims to present historical facts and events in a fun and informative way, with so many great episodes that teach children (and adults) about the often gross and gory side of history.
The show contains some iconic songs such as the Charles II rap, but most importantly it features the core cast of Ghosts in their element, making the audience laugh and putting on brilliant performances. Although Ghosts is slightly more mature in tone, the costumes and outrageous characters are definitely reminiscent of Horrible Histories.
Mom of two, Debbie, is startled by the sudden appearance of an elf in her house, who takes her to another world which she must save from dark forces. Debbie meets the elders of the realm, who have no idea how "The Chosen One" is supposed to save the world, but only that Debbie must fulfill the prophecy and save Yonderland.
The core cast of Ghosts created and wrote Yonderland together, creating a highly hilarious and absolutely bonkers show that keeps the audience engaged and laughing throughout. The CGI was kept to a minimum to preserve the magic of practical effects and the puppets that are used for various creatures throughout Yonderland, creating a classic charm to the series.
A darker show that is still suitable for fans of the supernatural elements in Ghosts, Being Human follows vampire Mitchell and werewolf George as they move into a house together and attempt to become more human. Their quest is joined by Annie, the ghost of a woman who died in the house.
Their makeshift family is cute to watch as they form bonds with each other, but the darker elements of the show, such as the characters' urge to kill and feed, and Mitchell's turn from hero to villain, often overshadow any familial feelings. Fans of Ghosts may appreciate the supernatural references, as well as the dynamic of a family unit being trapped in a house together.
An absolutely savage satire of the British royal family, The Windsors parodies the British royal family and portrays them as bumbling or cartoonishly evil characters. In the series, Camilla is an evil genius that attempts to blow up the family in one episode, and Pippa Middleton is a conniving seductress that envies her more famous and beloved sister, Kate.
The show also stars Ghosts actress Katy Wix as Fergie, a dim-witted mother trying to relive her glory days. The British satire is sharp in this series, as are the performances from the entire cast, especially Prince William's Hugh Skinner, who portrayed Harry in Mamma Mia 2.
Mathew Baynton from Ghosts and James Corden from Gavin and Stacey (not to mention late-night talk show fame) star in The Wrong Mans, a show about two men who accidentally get caught up in a conspiracy and various crimes. Mathew Baynton co-wrote every episode with James Corden and Tom Basden, who portrayed politician Jeremy Corbyn in the satirical show The Windsors.
The Wrong Mans is a fun action show with plenty of intrigue, physical comedy, and a fresh take on the crime-thriller genre. Likable characters propel the show forward, rarely allowing the audience and protagonists to relax, as the web of conspiracy unfolds around them.
With a star-studded cast including Jenna Fischer, Rob Lowe, and Megan Mullally, You, Me and the Apocalypse follows a group of individuals as they try to survive the impending apocalypse. Mathew Baynton from Ghosts plays bank manager, Jamie, who is trying to find his wife before the apocalypse happens, and also plays Jamie's twin brother, Ariel, the leader of a cyber-terrorist group.
This miniseries has a lot to like about it, with characters that have a lot of depth, and an intriguing premise that binds them all together despite their differing circumstances.
With the name taken from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, female magistrate, Marley, is able to see three ghosts: her husband Adam, her lover Michael, and the local vicar. The characters have a complicated relationship, which only gets even more complicated since each of the ghosts died in ridiculous circumstances, and now Marley is stuck with them.
Despite only having nine episodes, this series is a great watch for fans of Ghosts that enjoy seeing humans grapple with the existence of the supernatural, especially when these forces are unpredictable. Each of the ghosts causes havoc in Marley's life, and the show has clever enough writing to keep an audience engaged in the concept.
Based on the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett book of the same name, Good Omens follows the demon, Crowley, and the angel, Aziraphale, as they attempt to bring up the Antichrist and stop an impending apocalypse. The intimate rivalry between the angel and the demon drives much of the plot, which is brilliantly funny and adapts the book very faithfully, satisfying many fans of the novel.
The irreverent humor in the series is a highlight, as is the stellar cast which includes David Tennant, Michael Sheen, John Hamm, and Frances McDormand. Fans can look forward to season 2, coming soon, which will hopefully answer some Good Omens big questions and mysteries.
This dark comedy-drama follows various comic tales taking place behind a door marked "Number 9." Each episode is its own self-contained story, utilizing many famous actors and actresses to fulfill its roles, such as Katherine Parkinson from The IT Crowd and Gemma Arterton from Clash of the Titans.
Inside No.9 has various themes and tones, but every episode is deeply creative and intriguing, with plots such as secrets being revealed in a game of hide and seek, and a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth, featuring an understudy vying for the lead role in a production of the play. Fans of Ghosts will enjoy the satirical and dark humor of this strange and brilliant show.
One of the most famous ghost-communication shows, Ghost Whisperer follows Melinda, an antique store owner who tries to live her life in peace but finds that she can communicate with ghosts, all of whom need their earthly problems resolved before they can move onto the afterlife.
Critics disliked the overly sentimental tone of the show, with each episode focusing on a ghost and its problems, as well as Melinda's personal issues. However, fans enjoyed seeing Melinda resolve problems and utilize the clues available to her, and many fans adored the well-acted characters, who they found relatable and easy to watch.
