Like... not everything has to be straight or gay. Not everything even has to have anything to do with that kind of relationship. There might be no straight explanation, but that doesn't mean it's automatically gay. There's no straight explanation for the sun. Because straightness is totally unrelated to the sun. The same applies in some cases here. (Although I do agree with you for some of it)
@@sally675 I'd think my meaning was pretty clear. A lot of this really has nothing to do with attraction or romantic relationships, thus it is neither straight or gay or any other orientation.
no one said there was one. there doesn't need to be. because firstly straight isn't the default and secondly their sexuality isn't even relevant here a lot of the time
Idk why it’s always Ben but he said that his reasoning for the Captain was that he grew up with a more military all boys background and it was considered a man’s greatest weakness so he wanted the Captain to have (in his eyes) a crippling weakness.
Reminds me so much of running into a high school friend 10 years later at a gay bar. We just kinda looked at each other (him with his boyfriend & me with my wife), and were like, “Ah, yeah… makes sense.” 💀
“It took me going to university and realising life was so much more interesting, varied, beautiful and brilliant, and I can remember that sense of “Oh, thank god, this is fine. Everything is going to be fine. Anything goes,” and it was great.” - ben willbond on his childhood of growing up when gay wasn’t the norm. anything to say to the crowd, ben?
@@nemotheemo156 he’s gay and was (and I’m sure still is) in love with Havers but was too scared to tell him as he was scared what his reaction would be but also because it was illegal back then and he was scared of the consequences (I.e judged, unemployed, imprisoned). That’s why he buried the letter he wrote expressing his feelings that he planned on giving to Havers with a grenade so if the letter/box was found it would be destroyed in an instant.

The cast have done so many things together even after horrible histories, it’s actually so adorable I love them! Thankyou for giving me a childhood I’m proud of guys!
that was one of the ones that was actually queer. it isn't like there's a lack of scenes with actual queer representation in their stuff, so why add stuff that isn't queer?
i've gone from "oh i wont deep Ghosts, its a comedy, oh but the Captain is defo gay, but whatever i wont latch onto it like i normally do with other gay/potentially gay characters in other tv shows bc im gay and my family dont validate me so tv does" to literally crying at the music of Havers leaving and binge-watching what im claiming to be the fruitiest show ever, Yonderland
Yonderland was *so* weird and wonderful! I'm envious of people young enough to have discovered it as kids but fear it might've been a little much for me at the time
I really want ghosts to have another season in which we get to learn more about Cap’s death and also more about him and Havers. Like I want Cap to suggest to Alison to try and find Havers and she does and he’s a ghost in a cemetery or war memorial or something not far from button house and Alison talks to Havers and for it all to be super sweet when she goes back and tells the Captain how Havers is a ghost and how he came back to England after the war was over to reunite with their battalion (aka came to reunite with the Captain because they’re both fruity icons) but sadly died because of maybe like a disease before he could. I need that gay angsty cuteness in my life.

Wow I never noticed before but that laugh at the very end was very non captain like
Nah the Captain's just having fun ✨
Whenever I hear the last audio now all I can think of is that one edit called 'BBC Ghosts but Havers doesn't go to North Africa he goes to Greggs'

Yonderland ghosts and horrible histories are the shows in clip
And The Thick of It for the ones in an office
i need to see a graph that shows the correlation between those who watched horrible histories growing up and those who are now gay
Matt's face when he says "Do it!" is both hilarious and frightening XD
Ben being the Captain in Ghosts is a gift because of the uniform and hairstyling.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Dick loves us and we love Dick.”
it makes me so happy that ben is the thumbnail- three times
Just here to remind everyone: Alexandria * sniffs matt *
I’ve never laughed and cried so much at the same time
Finally some baunty hunters getting the recognition they deserve
bill willbond takes his roles based on how many men he gets to kiss or pine for
this is like 70% Ben Willbond being gay and im all for it..
I don’t know what character Ben is playing at 1:30 but he’s wearing an earring and I’m literally obsessed with how he looks
That's Elder Vex from Yonderland

George iv's flamboyant, totally-not-gay best man 5:20
Cap's funny,buck-tooth brother 5:31

Why are the sad cats so funny

Are we going to acknowledge that Anthony Stewart Head is in Yonderland?!?
Ben Willbond in that uniform is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he can order me around anytime! Wooooooooof!
this is a comfort video
Who else feels that when Ben plays the Bee's dad, he uses the same voice as henry viii
The moment at 7:17 is incredible - proff that less is more! Amazing acting
I just like to let everyone know, I watched yonderland solely for Kendall after watching this video
not me crying at the end-
Adam and Fergus were some of the funniest characters in the thick of it and that’s saying something god I love that show
