Ghosts, the BBC sitcom starring Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe, is releasing a celebration book to commemorate the show.
The show, which ended last year with its fifth series, followed Alison (Ritchie) and Mike (Smith-Bynoe) as they moved into a country house full of ghosts from different historical backgrounds.
Following the conclusion of the show with its Christmas special, a new celebratory book, Ghosts: Brought to Life: The Making of a Classic, has been announced and is now available to pre-order on Amazon.

Written by series creators Mat Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond, the book is set to be released on October 24, with the price currently set at £20.“Calling all Ghosts fans!” reads the product description. “This is the ultimate celebratory gift book for all of you in desperate need of another Ghosts fix, complete with in-depth interviews with the actors, the directors and the crew.
“[There is also] a behind-the-curtain peek at what happened on the film set, scenes that were left on the cutting-room floor, bloopers, episode guides and character profiles, and much, much more.”
“From understanding how the ghosts walked through walls to discovering how long it took to do Robin’s make-up, and from learning who stole what from the set to reliving favourite moments, Ghosts: Brought to Life is a treasure-trove of fascinating insight into the makings of this comedy legend, a series that brought families together and touched people’s lives.”
The book, which is 224 pages long, is said to be a “hilarious and amazing profusion of stories, memories and secrets that will help fill that Ghosts-shaped hole.” Bloomsbury Publishing is handling the creation of the book, which comes with a hardback cover.
Ghosts: Brought to Life: The Making of a Classic is released on October 24. The television series is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
