BBC One - Ghosts, Series 5, Fools

With the gatehouse destroyed, Alison and Mike are forced to start again.

With the B&B gone, Mike anxiously strives to fix their finances, but it’s April Fools' Day, and a distracted Alison is out for revenge. The couple receive some life-changing news.

Mike approaches Alison to discuss their finances following the loss of their B&B business. However, Alison is more preoccupied with plotting revenge on the ghosts for April Fools' Day and recruits a playful Humphrey to execute her plans. But who will prove the hardest to fool?

Meanwhile, Mike is shocked to find someone from their insurance company on his doorstep – an unannounced visit to check the details of the gatehouse fire. Can Mike convince her that lightning really can strike thrice?
