Episode 3

The Hardest Word

BBC One - Ghosts, Series 4, The Hardest Word

The ghosts’ thoughtless behaviour sends Alison into meltdown. Will she forgive them?

Can the ghosts get back into Alison’s good books after she gives them the biggest telling off of their lives/deaths? Alison and Mike learn that relaxation is harder than it looks.

The ghosts (and Mike) are shocked by Alison’s colossal telling off – the biggest they have ever had (and that’s saying something). They all agree they must come up with a creative way to get back into Alison’s good books and show her how truly sorry they are. Mary, however, believing she has done nothing wrong, refuses to take any responsibility - not after the fiery fate that befell her the last time she took the blame for something she didn’t do. 

Alison and Mike have a last-minute cancellation at the guesthouse and decide that a relaxing day off is exactly what they need. Mike sets about creating the perfect day - cooking Alison lunch, running her a hot bath, a trip to the cinema. But the pair soon discover that unwinding is far more challenging than it looks.
