As I wrote back here a couple years ago, I’m a big fan of the TV series Ghosts. I first discovered the British version, and was very pleased with what an excellent adaptation was done of it for U.S. television. While I ever-so-slightly prefer the British show, there are things about each that I favor. One especially-good thing about the American adaptation is that there are currently new episodes to watch. The British version (which streams on HBO Max) hasn’t had anything new for a while – although the show is still being made. Its new episodes began airing last September. However, though there aren’t any new British episodes available here in the U.S. yet, this is the best next thing. England, you see, has a “Red Nose Day” Comic Relief telethon every year to raise money for children poverty. In fact, I’ve posted clips from it over the years. And this, happily, is one more. It’s a short film where the cast of the British Ghosts got together and did a 7-1/2 minute sketch. It’s wonderful for American fans of the British original to finally see something new, but also a nice introduction for people over here who haven’t ever seen the British show. While this sketch isn’t the show at its height, it's still a lot of fun. (And features a guest appearance by singer Kylie Minogue.) And you’ll get to see how close the American adaptation comes to the original.
