Special Ghost Appearance

Back in 2021, I wrote here about my love of a British series Ghosts -- which got a terrific, very respectful American adaptation on CBS, that's become a big hit.  For those who watch the American version, I wanted to mention that they had a special guest appearance last night.  The actor who played "the actor who plays Pete in the documentary" was Matthew Baynton -- who stars in the original British series and co-created the show.

(On the British original, he plays Thomas Thorne, a pretentious, mediocre, romantic poet from the early 1800s who insists Lord Byron stole his work and is in love with the modern-day woman of the house, wonderfully played by Charlotte Ritchie.)

By the way, as a reminder, the original series is available on HBO Max and is a joy. The two versions are very compatible. It's sort of like getting twice as many episodes.
