⭐ Featured Review

Treachery and laughs, brilliant episode.
by Sleepin_Dragon2020-10-24
9/10

"Mike finds a musket ball, which brings back a terrible memory for Thomas. Thomas Thorne, the ghostly poet is put centre stage, Matthew Baynton is brilliant throughout. He's been a big character throughout, we've seen all of his little quirks, this episode wonderfully gives him a history, whilst involving many other ghosts. Funny and moving, The BBC once again showing how well they do costumes, it looks pretty wonderful. Lots of funny scenes, Robin perhaps delivers the funniest moment.... his sister... Loved it, 9/10...."

💡 Did You Know?

When Kitty is telling the other ghosts about the Highams' party, Pat asks whether they had a buffet, and mentions pineapple, to which Kitty replies that the Highams were wealthy, but not royalty. This is both a reference to Kitty's past in Restoration England, when pineapples were so expensive they were often used only for display, and the series Horrible Histories, that shares most of the cast and where this particular subject was explained.
