Feature film based on the BBC sitcom Ghosts, with screenings at Odeon Stoke.
The Possession of Button House is playing at Odeon Stoke from Saturday 7 November, running every day through to 12 November. It's the BBC sitcom Ghosts moving from the telly to the big screen, and if you've followed the show, you'll know the setup: the ghostly residents of Button House are trying to make sense of life without Alison and Mike.
That's where the plot kicks in. Protesters disrupt the construction of the planned hotel, and the ghosts find themselves desperate for a way to reach their living friends. When an amateur séance goes wrong, Julian seizes the moment to leave the grounds in the body of Jack, a teenage ghost hunter. Jack, in turn, gets a crash course in the afterlife from the ghosts. It's a 97-minute fantasy comedy, and the BBFC has rated it PG.
Simon Hynd directed it, and the cast brings back the faces you'll recognise from the series: Charlotte Ritchie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Mathew Baynton, Lolly Adefope and Ben Willbond. It's a good bit of the original gang returning to the characters they've built over the years.
