Ghosts is described as a multi-character sitcom set in the crumbling country pile of Button Hall is home to numerous restless spirits who have died there over the centuries.
Each ghost is very much a product of their time, resigned to squabbling with each other for eternity over the most inane of daily gripes. But their lives – or, rather, afterlives – are thrown into turmoil when a young urban couple – Alison and Mike – surprisingly inherit the peaceful derelict house and make plans to turn it into a bustling family hotel.
As the ghosts attempt to oust the newcomers from their home, and Mike and Alison discover the true scale of the project they’ve taken on, fate conspires to trap both sides in an impossible house share, where every day is, literally, a matter of life and death.
The six episode comedy – which hails from the Horrible Histories team of Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – stars the creators alongside Charlotte Ritchie, Katy Wix and Lolly Adefope.
It is set to premiere next month.

Next month is the only info I've seen.
I have to say, reading the article, I got flashbacks to my childhood and The Ghosts of Motley Hall.

Ghosts episode 1 of 6 - BBC1 Monday 15 April 9.30 pm - 10.00 pm.
Supernatural stuff isn't generally my thing, but as it's from the Horrible Histories team I'll give it a go.

Seen the trailer, but have to say that it's put me off, rather. A lot of characters! And it could be quite childish. But I'm going to watch it and will try to keep an open mind, I promise.

Was it Freddie Jones and Sheila Steafel, or am I remembering wrong?

Looking forward to this, having watched the trailer several times, and with the Horrible Histories crew, they should work well together.
