Ghosts fans will get an extra treat after series 2 lands…

The Beeb’s uber-popular comedy series Ghosts will be added to the Christmas line-up with a festive special, it’s been announced. No further details have been released at the time of writing.

The show, created by the Horrible Histories gang of Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond, also stars Charlotte Ritchie, Katy Wix and Lolly Adefope, and has already been renewed for a third season.

Season 2 of Ghosts will start airing on BBC One tonight at 8.30pm, and we’ll find Alison and Mike trying to find a semi-harmonious routine with the ghostly housemates of Button House. The ghosts have found a way to make their new situation work for them, while the couple are working towards a new money-making venture to fund their perpetual renovations. Without the money to continue the extensive building work and the hotel still a distant dream, Alison and Mike decide to try to rent the place out for events. After a paranormal photo of the house goes viral overnight, Alison and Mike worry that it will ruin the house’s reputation. As they scramble to debunk the spooky rumours and convince people that the house is spectre-free, they spot their opportunity to bring money in faster: they’ll use the ghosts’ ‘talents’ to create an authentic haunted house experience.

More on Ghosts soon.
