Ghosts announces surprise Christmas special
Ghosts will return for one last Christmas special, it's been confirmed.

The good news was announced by the Ghosts team on social media, who wrote: "The final series of Ghosts starts on Friday... but there might be one last present under the Christmas tree this year #BBCGhosts".
Led by Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Ghosts follows a young couple, Alison and Mike, as they navigate sharing their country house with a group of ghosts from different historical periods.
Recently teasing what fans can expect to see from the final outing, Ritchie told Digital Spy: "They will get the answers from some of the questions of the characters' backstories and I hope that they feel that the ending does justice to the show, to the characters.
"It's hard to say as that's quite a tall order. I also hope that they feel optimistic at the end of it."

The actress also warned that we'll be taken on an emotional rollercoaster in Ghosts' final series, saying: "The truth is, it's sad. There's no way of getting around it. Whatever happens, however it happens, it's always going to feel a bit grim. That's the nature of it.
"I think fans will be really sad, but I think [the writers] have done it really beautifully and very tactfully. The writers care so deeply about the show. It's not like they're just chucking it in the bin.
"For them, it's so emotional for it to be ending. They pulled out all the stops to make it a thoughtful and loving ending. I think it's great."
Ghosts' fifth and final series will premiere on October 6 at 8.30pm on BBC One, with a series boxset available on BBC iPlayer.
