it had some really sympathetic touches. It's like an old-fashioned comedy, when you do care for the characters.
Yes, it is. Such a different tone to most modern sictoms. I tend to talk about moments particular characters get to me, but it's also the group interactions: the sense of all the ghost being trapped together, and this episode emphasised that it was for years, forced to have social meetings like Julian's talk - and it suddenly occurs to me that it was the 'younger' ghosts who were most enthused about that. But the games they have to come up with to pass the time during the longest house party imaginable. The way they all piled in to tell/hear Thomas's story, and the moment where Thomas passed and saw the other ghosts, his companions for the next few centuries.
