Annie's Ghosts: A Journey Into a Family Secret

Product Information

Big "YES!": Thomas when he learns that a period drama to be filmed at Button House is set during the Regency. He's so caught up in his joy that he drop-punts Humphrey's head out of the room. A hell of one in "Gorilla War", after Alison gets overwhelmed by all the ghosts, goes to a hospital... and receives a rather unexpected diagnosis. The attending doctor states that her Near-Death Experience has left her with the ability to see the dead, and when Alison reacts in astonishment asks if she can see him. When she reacts with the obvious, he drops the bombshell: "Exactly. I'm dead." Depraved Homosexual: Most of the LGBTQ characters are portrayed in a positive light, but not Fanny's husband George Button. Fanny caught him not only cheating on her, but cheating on her with two men, an act that would almost certainly have been frowned upon in The Edwardian Era. Then, to make matters worse, he pushed her out the window because he couldn't trust her with his dirty secret. Ironically, she kept her death a secret from the other ghosts for more than a century (though the older ghosts admit that they already know, as they saw the whole thing go down). Big Fancy House: Button House is a deconstruction. While it was once grand and beautiful, the show goes into quite a bit of detail about how those British country houses that look so impressive from the outside can be absolute money pits to maintain and restore for the owners, especially when they no longer have the income that previous generations took for granted. It's only by the end of Series 2 that Alison and Mike restore the house enough that they can hire it out for weddings, and even then it's still a long way off from being a proper hotel. By season 4, they've even had to put plans for the main house on hold and done up the gatehouse as a boutique B&B instead. Julian quotes the title of the ABBA song Money, Money, Money in “Last Resort”. Both Pat and The Captain recognises it as a ABBA song.

What Did I Do Last Night?: The plot of "About Last Night" is basically this, in which a hungover Alison and Mike try to figure out what happened during the party the night before while they attempt to clean the house before the wedding planner gets there.

Land Poor: While Alison inherits a stately home, she and Mike don't have the income to maintain it, let alone allow them to turn it into a hotel. In the fifth season Mike has the good idea of selling some of the land that comes with the house — but even then they're restricted in who they can actually sell it to, since it's located in the green belt and thus can't be built upon.

In "Redding Weddy," after surreptitiously reading a few passages from Lady Chatterley's Lover, she spends most of the episode aroused by Mike doing the most mundane of chores and is ready to confess to Alison her affection... until she witnesses him gobbling nachos. Mike: No-one will know. [points to his phone] Look it's only one window and he doesn't say where it is... Today, the British isles rely a lot on imported goods from other countries and this has been the case for hundreds of years.
