Ah, good episode. I love the Annie thread, and her relationship with Mary, helping Mary find her tongue and trash-talking the living was so funny. Annie's sudden sucking off was stunning. Mary must have been so lonely without her. Mike's cultish friends coming in was mirrored in a US Ghosts episode when an entire cult moved into the mansion. UK Ghosts is much different than US Ghosts, the humor difference is striking...but one thing to consider, US Ghosts only has 22 minutes to air their episode...not a lot of time to ramble and lie in the field like the Captain and Kitty. I loved that part of this episode. And the pet cemetery! I wonder why there aren't more ghost animals hanging around? I nearly passed out hearing Luke give this episode a 10, Tash too! It was a solid 9 in my book.
I'm always amazed that they brought Annie in for a tiny part in the Thomas Thorne Affair in Series 2, and that we don't get to see her (or even reference her) again until series 4. That's a long lead in! It does make me wonder if in an original plan the Annie story might have been slated for somewhere in Series 3, and then for whatever reason it was decided it would work better here. You were pondering whether parents wath Ghosts with younger kids. It seems from posts on the internet that the only concern parents have had is whether or not the Christmas Episode with Nick the homeless person calls into question the existence of Father Christmas ( which it skates near to, but doesn't cross the line). It seems a lot of people watch this series with their kids. A pretty good episode all told I think. I don't score, but if I did this would be high, because of all the ghost character stuff.
