You know what, I'm giving five stars purely for the fact that Yvette and co really milked an idea and made it a complete success, despite most of its audience finding it a hysterical farce.
I can remember watching it back in the day, usually a little tipsy after a night of partying and ripping it to bits with my housemates, so when it popped up on Prime's freeview I thought I'd revisit for the memories.
I might be a little more middle aged than my first viewing, but I'm still gonna say a little 420 is probably needed to watch this - and I'm certainly glad I did.
Blue Peter presenter turned goth ghost Hunter and Derek's scouse accent splitting out random dates and names he's managed to remember, from the guide book of the castle he's stumbling around, what's not to enjoy mocking here?
I completely forgot about Derek's random possessions and boy am I glad I had some 420 for that, they're comedy gold.
The rest is just padding from various crew members, "feeling a chill" , Yvette asking everyone repeatedly, "did you hear that" and dust particles labelled as "light anomalies" floating about.
Yet despite all this, they got the look, design and overall vibe of a ghost Hunter tv show bang on. This is the liquid gold of paranormal reality tv.
Those who want to believe will lap this up, those who find it funny, won't be able to spot the difference between this and the French and Saunders parody (seriously you could splice that clip into the show and you wouldn't notice!)
Basically this show is either for complete ghost believing fanatics or old time stoners like me that like a bit of cult retro that's so bad it's awesome every now and then.
