Spooktacular sitcom from the Horrible Histories gang
The second series of this gentle, familyfriendly sitcom is currently airing on BBC1 on Mondays, but the entire box set is available to stream, alongside its predecessor. Written and performed by faces familiar from Horrible Histories and Yonderland, the plot follows the fortunes of Alison and Mike (Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe, above centre), a young couple who, after struggling to get on the housing ladder, are thrilled to learn they’ve inherited a manor house. But there are two problems: the property is in a state of disrepair and it’s inhabited by a bunch of ghosts who are not particularly thrilled about sharing their home. BBC iPlayer, available now
