Ep 1. The Bone Plot

The Bone Plot is the first episode of season 3 of the critically acclaimed British comedy-horror series, Ghosts. This episode picks up where the previous season left off, with Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) still dealing with the ghosts that haunt their new home, Button House.

In this episode, the ghosts are excitedly preparing for the annual Ghosts Day Festival, which celebrates the deaths of famous ghosts throughout history. The festival is a big deal for the ghosts, as it is their chance to be remembered and celebrated by both the living and the dead. The preparations for the festival are underway, with each ghost assigned a specific task, but tensions are high as things start to go wrong.

Alison is experiencing a major case of writer's block as she tries to work on her new book, and Mike is struggling to keep up with the demands of the ghostly residents. As if that weren't enough, they are also dealing with the arrival of some new, unwelcome guests. A group of archaeologists have arrived at their door, claiming to have found a burial site on the property. The archaeologists are determined to excavate the site, but the ghosts are not pleased. They fear that their resting place will be disturbed and their remains mishandled.

As the day of the festival draws closer, tensions escalate. The ghosts are determined to protect their remains, even if it means taking matters into their own hands. Alison and Mike try to keep the peace, but it seems that everyone has their own agenda. With the arrival of the archaeologists and the increasing tensions among the ghosts, it seems that something big is about to happen.

The Bone Plot is a humorous and thrilling episode that perfectly captures the tone of Ghosts. The series has always blended humour and horror, and this episode is no exception. The tension builds as the excitement for the festival grows, and the ghosts' determination to protect their remains leads to some hilarious and unexpected situations.

The performances in this episode are top notch, as always. Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe continue to impress as Alison and Mike, the living couple at the centre of the chaos. Their chemistry is palpable, and their comedic timing is impeccable. The ensemble of ghosts is also fantastic, with each actor bringing their own unique energy to their roles.

Overall, The Bone Plot is an excellent start to the third season of Ghosts. It sets the stage for what promises to be another thrilling and hilarious season, with plenty of surprises and scares along the way. Whether you're a fan of horror, comedy, or both, this episode is not to be missed.
