BBC Ghosts (British Original)
CBS Ghosts (American Remake)
ARD/German Ghosts (German Remake)
Disney+/French Ghosts (French Remake)
(I should clarify that the poll is for the silly btw, it’s for fun’s sake! I’d love to hear y’all’s opinions frfr!! )
Thing's I'd put in the Australian version of Ghosts if I was making it
If you haven't heard, an Australian version of the BBC's popular show Ghosts has been confirmed! So far, there is a finished UK version, and ongoing (I believe?) USA version, German and French versions in production, and now the upcoming Australian version. (Now I know there's a bit of information out there already about the setup of the show but I haven't been able to access that so I know nothing about it aside from it exists.) So, as an Australian, here's what I'd love to see in it:
An Aboriginal ghost from thousands of years ago as well as an Aboriginal ghost from the last 30ish years - remind people that Aboriginal Australians are the oldest ongoing culture in the world
The mansion to have not always been a family home. Maybe like a boarding school or something, with some ghosts who were students there (or maybe teachers, as actors playing students would age much more noticeably. Actually a headmaster could be a good Fanny/ Hetty counterpart)
If not that, then maybe it's on a big bit of farmland - very Australian. Could let the livings discover news ghosts throughout the show as they explore all the nooks and crannies of the vast place
A different take on the main pair of livings would be cool. Maybe best friends, or house mates, or a sapphic couple?
Remember that ghost pigeon from the UK version? I want ghosts of extinct animals. Give me a megafauna kangaroo ghost PLEASE
If it's set in Victoria, some gold miners! There were a lot of Chinese gold miners too, so a Chinese ghost could be a chance to remind the audience that Australia is a multicultural society, and has been for a few hundred years
If in Victoria, and if there are gold miner ghosts, them finding out about Sovereign Hill would be a delight. (I say this even as my best friend's family are higher-ups at Sov Hill) the ghosts pointing out historical inaccuracies would be funny
A ghost who says he was part of the Kelly Gang (Ned Kelly's crew) a la how Black Pete from Our Flag Means Death talks about working with Blackbeard. Our claimed Kelly Gang member really only met Ned Kelly once, or was in the gang for only a week before dying in an embarrassing, unrelated way - Humphrey Bone core
A Kiwi ghost that they all ignore and shut down. Maybe they all talk about him like he's a lameass and a prick and all, then the livings finally meet him (he's been banished to a far corner of the property) and he's a decorated, brave ANZAC soldier who's very kind of heart and wants nothing but peace with the other ghosts. But the ghosts all hate him for being Kiwi (uniting the variety of ghosts in the show with a common "enemy"). Not to make fun of ANZACs or our war history, but more to poke fun at the way we hate Kiwis
Obligatory arrow-through-the-neck ghost was a camp counsellor who was shot by a kid who was on school camp with his primary school. Everyone has horrific injuries from school camp stories, so it could be a recent ghost and the living woman saying like "yeah and I once got a fishing hook in my hand on camp" "I once burnt myself trying to cook damper" and the counsellor saying "yeah well i once got shot and killed on a school camp, so."
FOOTY. Even as a Norflag truther, a ghost of a North Melbourne player from the early 1900s (when they were doing well) watching how badly they're going now would be a bit of fun
A ghost who died in the Great Emu War. The ghost: "I was in a war once" The living: "Oh my god are you an ANZAC? I had no idea" The ghost: "... not quite."
We have a great history of taking the piss out of our politicians, and also just not caring about them at all, so a Julian (from the UK version) counterpart would be very well received
KYLIE MINOGUE CAMEO (she was mentioned and cameod in the UK version)
And obviously, some cheeky references to the other versions
But whatever the show ends up to be, I'm really looking forward to it!
yooo where's my french side of the ghosts fandom at? is there a tag everyone uses (that I haven't found yet)?
there's a trailer!
the ghosts from all of the ghosts TV series would be so jealous of ghosts from The Sims 4 and what they can do
GHOSTS TF1/FR trailer subtitled by yours truly
Since we now have all these versions of ghosts (Original BBC, CBS, Germany, France and more possible to come) do we now get a ghostsverse (as in universe)
French Ghosts love love letter/ review
Okay I kinda was already biased when I saw George and Auguste in the promo picture, but I genuinely love the French version of Ghosts. Everyone just feels more down to earth and real in comparison to the original, the American and the German version. Their colours don't feel too bright, there is no sensory overload or the overwhelming plastic feel, both the American and the German version have. The music just like in the original series just fits right into the scenery rather smoothly. Also the title sequence is absolutely stunning! Very clever! Very different! No shame to the og one but this one is awesome.
It's an odd thing to say but I genuinely wouldn't mind being part of this ghost house, OG ghosts has characters I dislike and absolutely love, American version kept getting more characters I wouldn't want to meet or had beloved one's change to latter, sadly overpowering the ones I loved and I wouldn't want to be with the Germans ghosts at all. (maybe I had a bad start with latter or I need someone to sit down with me and watch it, just like with the American version) . The way this Alison got her gift was a very clever way and I hope more Ghosts adaptations will go down this line of getting creative. Come on Australian Ghosts do something unexpected *cough*Emus *cough*
The Gauls are absolutely charming, I love them almost more than the plague ghosts.
Isabelle, their version of Jemina is a sweetheart! She and Jemina should be best friends.
A plot point which I hated in the original series,genuinely was handled/told rather lovely thus I didn't mind it a lot thus far. It wasn't in the original series, but like I'm ignoring the season where it happend anyways. I do hope French Ghosts continues in a beautiful way without going in this direction.
Nadil and Jay should hang out, Nadil trying to fight the ghosts was peak human-ghost-médiator-companion/ ghost interaction.
George, their version of the Captain, I cannot wait to see more of him. Like I get now why everyone is so obsessed with the Captain.
Marie - Catherine and Berthe are just perfect, Iove them no notes.
My problematic fav, my son and his emotional support tree. Non, je ne regrette rien
Anyone surprised I love the poet Auguste? He's so sweet, put him and Thomas in the same room and they would end up like Schiller and Goethe.
Thus far French Ghosts was actually a lovely surprise and my favourite adaptation of the original story. CBS Ghosts lost me in the current season due to two certain plot lines and a character. I just couldn't connect to the German Ghosts thus far.
I am however still very excited about Australian Ghosts and hope we get news soon,but until then I hope we get a second season of the French Ghosts!!!
People you have no idea how the announcement of a french serie Ghosts is completely changing me as a person. All the possibilities. I got so many different scenarios in mind. Button House being a Castle around the Loire. A caveman who have painted the cave of Lascaux. The captain being either a Poilu from WWI or from Napoleonian period. A headless noble from the french revolution. Mary being Jeanne d'Arc. A caricature of Jean-Marie Lepen for the horrible politician (wish I wouldnt see him without trousers tho). A chief scout being played by Pierre Niney. The possibilities are ENDLESS.
