#bbc ghosts pilot

[latte-cucumber]

rating the ghosts pilot versions vs the ones we got in the show

in order of their appearance. 1/10 way worse than original, 5/10 about the same as original, 10/10 way better than original. fair warning there will be a lot of crunchy screenshots in here

julian

8/10. hair? stunning. no notes. perfect. shoulda kept it like that in the actual version (i mean anything is leagues better than s4/5 but TOUSLED JULIAN SUPREMACY). two complaints: you cowards gave him underwear everyone KNOWS he's commando under there. also the tie is too short

the captain

6/10. honestly don't feel super qualified since i never really paid attention to him in the show but he looks basically the same. i like the green? fun that he has something else to hold too

fanny

5/10. gets a lot of points off for her hair (why is it so big??) but gains a lot of points for that dress (such a nice shade of purple. also the gloves!!)

kitty

8/10. the hat!!!

humphrey

6/10. ditto with cap re: not paying much attention to him. but i like the hair?

pat

6/10. this man needs a SHAVE. what has he been out in the woods for a week straight??? also the glasses are Not It. he Does get some points for the lanyard + the 550 cord bracelet thing over his shoulder like there are a lot of possibilities for fic writers re: that

mary

3/10. who are you. what have you done to my precious girl 😭why is the scarf so big??

thomas

4/10. ngl i do Not dig the hair 😭 and i feel like i would've liked the boots a lot more had i seen them first?? but where are his pumps??? give the man his girly shoes back pls + thanks. and he needs a shave too!

robin

5/10. furs look a lot more haggard than the version we got, not super fond of it, but i can see what they were going for which is something ig?

Random BBC ghosts thought

Those guys from the pilot, the ones kicking Humphrey's head, were they recycled to use in the bone plot? I don't know, maybe not, but they seemed so familar.

I would've loved them to be ghosts that act as Humphrey's annoying older brothers, I think the dynamics could've been great.

I said I would, so here's Thomas (pilot edition)

Jesus Christ I love this obnoxious little twink so much aaagh

I genuinely cant put my finger on what is different about Pilot Cap?? (Aside from him having a hat to hold…) Is he just generally less pathetic here?? It’s really bugging me
