Plot Synopsis
GHOSTS is a half-hour comedy series that centers on a young couple, Alison and Mike, who unexpectedly inherit a grand country estate only to find it is both falling apart and overrun with ghosts. The crumbling country pile of Button House is home to a troupe of restless spirits who have died there over the centuries, each ghost very much a product of their time, resigned to squabbling with each other for eternity over the most inane of daily gripes.
