Grief in Ghosts: The BBC sitcom observed

I love the BBC TV sitcom Ghosts and so when I watched an episode in the latest series that revolved around grief and loss (the very themes my podcast is based on) I just had to re-watch it. Twice. And then I thought, why not share my musings with you too? And so a new addition to The Silent Why family was created.Welcome to The Silent Why, a podcast exploring every type of loss and grief and all the places we find them.I'm Claire Sandys and every now and then, among our regular episodes and my audio blogs, I've decided to share another love of mine - commentating on fictional storytelling. And to remain on theme I'm going to explore specific programmes, books or stories that handle grief or loss in a particularly good (or maybe even bad!) way.The first programme I'm dissecting is a recent episode of one of my favourite British TV sitcoms - Ghosts, from the BBC. Specifically Episode 4 of Series 4, called Gone Gone.  SPOILER ALERT: This episode does contain spoilers from 5:40 onwards, basically after my husband's impromptu piano rendition of the theme tune (which is well worth hearing, and really hard to play!).So join me as I take a closer look at the themes of grief and loss in this episode and how the writers and producers handled a subject very close to my heart (and my podcast).To see what these Ghosts look like, you can view the sitcom trailer here:  https://youtu.be/5e0nB1mSd9QTo watch the episode visit: BBC iPlayer:https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0d0mkkc/ghosts-series-4-4-gone-goneAmazon Prime:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0B8T2GNB5/ref=atv_dp_season_select_s4 Apple TV:https://tv.apple.com/gb/show/ghosts/umc.cmc.2grssoqzw298ke40dfed13j74Just Watch:https://www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/ghosts/season-4Send us Fan MailSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving:  thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
