Summary

The enhanced audiobook companion to the BBC sitcom GHOSTS, perfect for all the family.

*Narrated by the GHOSTS Cast*

*Featuring Bonus Audio Content*

Everybody leaves a trace. The ghosts of Button House may have been dead a long time - some of them a very long time - but they have all left their mark on the world (even if, in Robin’s case, that mark is just a handprint on the wall of a cave).

Gathered together in this volume is a treasure trove of unearthed cuttings, original records and rare artefacts that explore the unseen lives of those who died at Button House: from Thomas's love letters to Pat's ‘Summer Camp Rap’, and from Julian's campaign promises to Lady Button's Rules of Etiquette. There are even documents dictated to the one person who can see and hear the ghosts: Alison Cooper.

Written by the show’s creators – Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – this eclectic archive is a unique chance to discover more about the beloved ghosts of Button House. Thank be to Moonah!

An audiobook for all the family, it is as warm-spirited and deliriously daft as the series itself.

Full cast: Mat Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, Ben Willbond, Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Ben Ashenden, Isaac Gittins, Kristin Atherton, Will Seaward, Rupert Farley, Chris Rowe, Nezar Alderazi, Richard Hughes

Based on the BBC television series Ghosts produced by Monumental Television in association with Them There.

A gift

The Button House Archives is a GIFT. Funny, surprising, moving and absolutely worth both reading and listening to, as both formats are uniquely exploited. Thank you BBC Ghosts team for this treasure trove.

A Must For Any Ghost Fan

Fantastic companion piece for any fan of the show! I followed along with the book. Since the show ended it’s been really nice to hear the Ghosts again and learn more about them.

This was just perfect. Perfect in every way. It is so funny, and witty, and sweet and lovely. The perfect accompaniment to the series. Both listening to and reading it just made me really, really happy. Brilliant 😁😁😁

A lovely companion to the series

I hugely enjoyed this tie-in book. It was laugh-out-loud funny (Julian's pathology report really got me) and it was so lovely to hear the cast reprise their roles for one of the very last times.

Absolutely brilliant

I'm still absolutely gutted that Ghosts ended on tv (I cried after watching the last episode) so getting this book was a no brainer. It's brilliant and hilarious and I'll listen to it many times I'm sure. The accompanying pdf is a great joy too. I'm even gutted I've finished the audio now - I'll just have to watch it on tv again from the very beginning and then listen to this again that's all there is to it!
