Ghosts is a British television series that premiered in April 2019. The show follows a group of ghosts who are haunting an old English country house. Each ghost died in a different era and has their own unique personality and backstory.
Episode 9 of season 1 is called "Alberta's Fan." The episode opens with the main characters, Alison and Mike, trying to help a ghost named Alberta. Alberta was a famous stage actress in her time and is now haunting the house. She is desperate to perform again and wants Alison and Mike to help her put on a play.
Alison and Mike reluctantly agree to help Alberta, but they soon realize that they are in over their heads. They have no experience in producing plays, and Alberta is a demanding and temperamental ghost. She insists on having a real audience for her show but is unable to conjure up any living people to attend.
As Alison and Mike struggle to put together the play, they begin to learn more about Alberta's past. They discover that she was once in love with a fellow actor, but their relationship ended tragically. The knowledge of Alberta's past makes Alison and Mike more sympathetic to her plight and they become more invested in making her dream come true.
Meanwhile, the other ghosts in the house are dealing with their own issues. Julian is feeling neglected by his boyfriend, Mary is struggling with her attraction to the house's current owner, and Robin is trying to adjust to life as a ghost after being killed in a tragic accident.
The tension in the house comes to a head on the night of Alberta's play. Alison and Mike have managed to put together a makeshift set and audience, but things quickly start to go wrong. Alberta's ego causes her to demand more attention and praise than her fellow actors, and the other ghosts become increasingly frustrated with her behavior.
The climax of the episode involves a dramatic confrontation between Alberta and the other ghosts. In the end, Alberta must come to terms with the mistakes she made in her past and learn to appreciate the people around her. The episode ends on a bittersweet note, as the characters reflect on their experiences and the audience for Alberta's play disappears once the show is over.
Overall, "Alberta's Fan" is a poignant and entertaining episode of Ghosts. It continues the show's trend of using humor and ghostly hijinks to explore deeper themes of loss, regret, and redemption. Fans of the show will not want to miss this episode.
