Who do you think you are? S1E1 Ghosts rewatch - random thoughts 1. I’ve spent far too long studying the “family tree” from the solicitor’s and I can’t reach any conclusions... I’m going to assume it was just a prop and not actually planned out (however, if anyone does want an extensive discussion I can bullet point my thoughts) 2. Why is Heather Button alone? Sure, she may not have any living relatives, but she needs a wheelchair, and the bedroom is an upstairs one (the one the Captain takes over). 3. Why is Humphrey’s body so clumsy? Dropping his own head seems unlikely... and no-one seems to have caused it. 4. Does each ghost have a “private room” for the night? That means there’s at least 9 in the house, 8 for each ghost - and one for the Captain to move to. 5. When Thomas starts his poem (in, I believe, trochaic octameter), Fanny and the Captain are the first to leave. Kitty, after trying an encouraging smile, and Pat are the last to leave. 6. Robin plays chess with Julian so presumably Julian has to move all the pieces - so he does in fact move more than cups at the beginning (unless he means pushing things onto the floor). 7. Pat trying to remain encouraging but his voice quivers when he says “give us something to look forward to”... 8. What was the AOB for Robin and Julian? 9. Poor old Thomas - he could easily go somewhere private to do his work, but when Julian attacks him, Kitty is straight up to defend him. 10. Why do we never hear the grandmother clock chime again? I can’t imagine that Alison and Mike were happy with the clock never being right, but maybe the ghosts explained it, and Fanny continues to fall out the window every morning. 11. Alison and Mike obviously love a sing-song (in the car), so why does he randomly make an awful song when they enter the cellar? [”don’t be scared”] 12. When Fanny attempts to explain the reason for her falling, none of the ghosts seem to want to hear her explanation - which is the opposite of their interest in Mary’s witch trial. 13. WowAH 14. Before the idea of turning the house into a hotel, only Julian and Fanny seem against them. Afterwards, Robin, Julian, Mary and Thomas (only if they become ghosts and are stuck with them) are for “killing them”; Fanny (”immoral”), Kitty (”wrong”), the Captain (”stuck with them”) and Pat against. 15. However, they’re all happy to try haunting them away. 16. Mike vs Pigeon part 1 17. Jemima - lives in the pantry (and not in the cellar with the other plague ghosts?). Captain, “... your skills... huhah...” 18, Humphrey’s head has moved from the bedroom. Who is moving him? Is he moving himself around? 19. The plague ghosts show that all the ghosts can learn about the modern world just by being around and picking up words and observing 19. Am I the only one who doesn’t believe that Julian tips Alison over through the window? It’s completely possible to overbalance - she lifts both feet off the floor. 20. Answer the question, DAMN YOUR EYES! 21. So, all the ghosts (at the time), watched the manwich going on - do they like to follow the living as a general rule... or was it the activity they were interested in? Or were they nosey about the secretive nature of the meeting? 22. So, has Kitty been keeping an eye out of the window since the accident? I think so. 23. During her stay in hospital, the ghosts would have seen the surveyor, surely? And possibly the workmen if they came to quote and look at the house at some point... 24. Alison noting that Julian wasn’t wearing a hard hat, but didn’t see the lack of trousers... 25. Great final shot of the ghosts coming through the walls, and Humphrey turning up too.
