Ghosts Season 4

What BollyAI Thinks

Series 4 aired September-October 2022 and delivered the emotional payoffs the show had been carefully building across its run. Ghosts had by this point achieved something unusual in British sitcom - a consistent tonal signature across four series that never grew stale, because the ensemble's historical range kept providing new comedic terrain. The show's commitment to treating its ghost characters' existential situations - trapped in one house across centuries - with occasional genuine poignancy had by Series 4 produced some of the most memorable character moments of the entire run.

1. E3The Hardest Word8.8

   After Alison loses patience with the ghosts, the ensemble creates an apology song to win her back. Den of Geek described it as containing 'probably the funniest three minutes in Ghosts history' - a set piece that demonstrated how precisely the show understood each ghost's comic register and how to deploy them simultaneously.

   The moment: The apology song performance - each ghost contributing a verse that perfectly captures their era and personality.

   “Probably the funniest three minutes in Ghosts history.” - Den of Geek

2. E4Gone Gone9.1

   Den of Geek ranked this the best Ghosts episode ever made. A ghost permanently ascends, and the episode explores how each remaining character grieves differently. Critics called it 'the Ghosts episode that changed everything', earning it rare status as a comedy episode with genuine emotional gravity. The show's willingness to follow through on its premise's consequences gave the series its most resonant hour.

   The moment: The moment of ascension itself - handled with a restraint that makes the loss feel real rather than merely plot-functional.

   “This is the Ghosts episode that changed everything.” - Den of Geek
