alison and mike get on very well because they're great at communicating and they genuinely like each other and the only major difference between them is that most of mike's ideas are stupid whereas most of alison's are illegal

The Thomas Thorne Affair
Ghosts’ Larry Rickard Explains Why They Chose the Captain’s First Name

It couldn’t be a joke. That was one rule laid down by the Ghosts creators when it came to choosing a first name for Willbond’s character. Until series five, the WWII ghost had been known only as The Captain – a mystery seized upon by fans of the show.
“It was the question we got asked more than anything. His name,” actor and writer Larry Rickard tells Den of Geek. “Once we got to series three, you could see that we were deliberately cutting away and deliberately avoiding it. We were fuelling the fire because we knew at some point we’d tell them.”
In “Carpe Diem”, the episode written by Rickard and Ben Willbond that finally reveals The Captain’s death story, they did tell us. After years of guessing, clue-spotting and debate, Ghosts revealed that The Captain’s first name is James. At the same time, we also learned that James’ colleague Lieutenant Havers’ first name was Anthony.
The ordinariness of those two names, says Rickard, is the point.
“The only thing we were really clear about is that we didn’t want one of those names that only exists in tellyland. It shouldn’t be ‘Cormoran’ or ‘Endeavour’. They should just be some men’s names and they’re important to them. The point was that they were everyday.”
Choosing first names for The Captain and Havers was a long process not unlike naming a baby, Rickard agrees. “It almost comes down to looking at the faces of the characters and saying, what’s right?”
“We talked for ages. For a long time I kept thinking ‘Duncan and James’, and then I was like ah no! That would have turned it into a gag and been awful!” Inescapably in the minds of a certain generation, Duncan James is a member of noughties boyband Blue. “Maybe with Anthony I was thinking of Anthony Costa!” Rickard says in mock horror, referencing another member of the band.
Lieutenant Havers wasn’t just The Captain’s second in command while stationed at Button House; he was also the man James loved. Because homosexuality was criminalised in England during James’ lifetime, he was forced to hide his feelings for Anthony from society, and to some extent even from himself.
In “Carpe Diem”, the ghosts (mistakenly) prepare for the last day of their afterlives, prompting The Captain to finally tell his story. Though not explicit about his sexual identity, the others understand and accept what he tells them – and led by Lady Button, all agree that he’s a brave man.
Getting the balance right of what The Captain does and doesn’t say was key to the episode. “It wasn’t just a personal choice of his to go ‘I’m going to remain in the closet’,” explains Rickard. “There wasn’t an option there to explore the things that either of them felt. That couldn’t be done back then – there are so many stories which have come out since the War about the dangers of doing that.
“We wanted to tell his personal story but also try to ensure that there was a level at which you understood why they couldn’t be open, that even in this moment where he’s finally telling the other ghosts his story, he never comes out and says it overtly because that would be too much for him as a character from that time.
“He says enough for them to know, and enough for him to feel unburdened but it’s in the fact that they’re using their first names which militarily they would never have done, and in the literal passing of the baton”.
The baton is a bonus reveal when fans learned that The Captain’s military stick wasn’t a memento of his career, but of Havers. As James suffers a fatal heart attack during a VE day celebration at Button House, Anthony rushes to his side and the stick passes from one to the other as they share a moment of tragic understanding.
“From really early on, we had the idea that anything you’re holding [when you die] stays with you. So it wasn’t just your clothes you were wearing, we had the stuff with Thomas’ letter reappearing in his pocket and so on. And the assumption being that it was something The Captain couldn’t put down, it felt so nice to be able to say it was something he didn’t want to put down.”
Rickard lists “Carpe Diem”, co-written with Ben Willbond, among his series five highlights. He’s pleased with the end result, praises Willbond’s performance, and loved being on set to see Button House dressed for the 1940s. He’s particularly pleased that a checklist of moments they wanted to land with the audience all managed to be included. “Normally something’s fallen by the wayside just because of the way TV’s made, it’s always imperfect or it’s slightly rushed, but it feels like it’s all there.”
Rickard and Willbond also knew by this point in the show’s lifetime, that they could trust Ghosts fans to pick up on small details. “Nothing is missed,” he says. “Early on, you’re always thinking, is that going to get across? But once we got to series five, there are little tiny things within corners of shots and you know that’s going to be spotted. Particularly in that very short exchange between Havers and the Captain. We worried less about the minutiae of it because you go, that’s going to be rewound and rewatched, nothing will be missed.”
The team were also grateful they’d resisted the temptation to tell The Captain’s story sooner. “We’d talked about it every series since series two, whether or not now was the time, but because he’s such a hard and starchy character in a lot of ways you needed the time to understand his softer side I think before you had that final honest beat from him.”
“What a ridiculously normal name to have so much weight put on it for five years,” laughs Rickard fondly. “Good old James.”

[id: art of humphrey and sophie bone from bbc ghosts. humphrey is standing in front of wooden doors, which he is attempting to barricade shut. sophie is next to him, kissing his cheek. she has on hand cupping the other side of his face, the other clutching hood of a book. humphrey's eyes are shut, and he looks frightened. the swords over his mantelpiece hang above his head. text written onto the top left corner of the drawing reads, "s3 ep1, the bone plot." /end id]
The Ghosts & Driving:
Julian: flashy car. Fast & expensive. Has been to and ignored copious alcohol awareness courses. SPEEDING FINES. ‘Seatbelts are for losers’. Overwhelming smell of aftershave.
Pat: family car, practical but prefers driving the bus because it ‘makes him feel important’. The glovebox is full of maps & travel sweets.
Captain: DRIVING GLOVES would have a ‘setting off routine’ that includes yelling to put on your seatbelt and stressing if a road was closed. Also treats the car like a person.
Lady Button: driving ‘isn’t for ladies’ and would only do so if absolutely necessary. Menace when behind the wheel however & has severe road rage. Expects everyone to give her right of way. Drives through puddles purposely fast to splash pedestrians.
Thomas: very nervous driver and often just screams at things. Also Shakespearean-insult-style Road Rage. Sounds the horn too much and only learned to pick up girls. Ostentatious car, sleek black with books that crash around on the back seat. Probably also a cringy bumper sticker.
Kitty: pink mini. Eyelashes. Gives way to everyone under the sun and is a little frightened of Motorways. Good driver, but sometimes struggles to see past all the dashboard accessories. Has flower-themed bumper stickers & air fresheners.
Mary: is yet to pass her test, not great at steering because ‘well, if they dies they die’. Rumour has it she’s still stuck on a roundabout muttering about Satan’s inescapable vortex.
Humphrey: pretty decent driver, practical car that he revs at traffic lights. Has the worst luck with bird shit and spends most of his time in car washes.
Robin: hideous 20+ year old van that is definitely not road safe. Julian refuses to step foot in it. So very messy & CDs everywhere. Failed his theory 5 times but got there in the end. Bumper stickers of space and stars he hand-painted on the doors.
The screening of Ghosts episode 1 was so so so good and you won’t want to miss the series premiere tonight! I’ve been waiting for the next thing since Yonderland finished 3 years ago and I was not disappointed. It was so worth the wait and I hope everyone enjoys the show tonight and gives the team all the love and praise afterwards!!! 👻
and now we’re about to get the final series, time flies
Ghosts is to end after five series.

all being said, at a time when so many good things are axed, i am incredibly happy they got to make five series of their show including multiple christmas specials and a god damn sketch with kylie minogue and that they get to end things how they want. their show was so successful that it got a US counterpart. they’ve had such a good run, and even though they deserve way more awards than they’ve managed, the figures and the love speak for themselves. they should be so proud of ghosts. i know i am.
