For the first time since ‘Gavin & Stacey’, ‘Ghosts’ has found a way of doing a big, broad, uncynical sitcomThere are cavepeople and mustachioed Second World War captains wandering around Waterloo. A queue of young people – most in their late teens and early twenties, some children with their parents – extends all the way along London’s South Bank, and past the Hayward gallery.
There’s uptight Victorian matriarch and defender of propriety Fanny ; dippy Georgian romantic Kitty ; Byronic poser Thomas , who’s in love with Alison; chipper Scoutmaster Pat ; witch trial victim Mary ; leery Tory MP Julian , who diedand is therefore cursed to an afterlife without trousers; the pompous Captain , whose death remains a mystery but who has become an unlikely queer icon; caveman and occasional conspiracy theorist Robin ; and Humphrey , a decapitated Tudor lord whose head and body...
Every character gets these little grace notes that open them up a little further and a little further, even 24-carat bastard Julian. Thomas, the tortured poet, was betrayed by his own cousin and realises the woman he loved hadn’t gone off him at all; Kitty was routinely humiliated by her horrible step-sister; the Captain, it’s hinted, loved one of the men in his regiment but didn’t know how to understand what he felt. So far Pat’s been the only one to make me actually cry.
