I feel like I’m just reacting truthfully a lot of the time. “We get to see a whole new side of Pete in this finale in terms of his personal relationships. Pete has a new love interest in the finale,” his portrayer Richie Moriarty reveals to TVLine. Ghosts star Charlotte Ritchie has given an update on the new series of the BBC One hit.

I've seen people with tattoos of Pat. It’s quite overwhelming to see yourself inscribed onto someone's flesh. We've come up with this character, and he is quite like me. And there's someone who's committed him to their body forever, unless they go off the show massively and get some sort of laser treatment.

That’s very important in storytelling. I think throughout the final week, we all had tiny breakdowns. Obviously, we'd known it was coming for a long while. In the process of writing series four, we started to talk about maybe just doing one more so we had a long run into it.

It's really nice to have that many episodes and have those many stories told and get to be as silly as we did for that long. Despite it being the final one, I think this series has some of the best episodes that we've made. I think it's really consistently got better. I do forget every time we go back in January.

It just makes you feel like you've all got this shared responsibility. Whereas what you really want is, "Try and make me laugh as much as possible. Let's see what we get." I did feel pressure to deliver, and not ever slack, because it felt like you're not going to get to do this again. But that was more the feeling of, "This is it, so make you sure make the very most of it". I don't know how to define it, but Mary was such an iconic character. It filled an area of performance that was really specific, and we miss it.

It's so rewarding and exciting to do a show that so many people love. I also think you form such a strong bond with so many people - obviously, with the cast, but also with the crew, a number of whom have been there since series one. It's just such a wonderful process. Everyone is just trying to make everyone else laugh all day long. This is something that you do every day for months on end.

I can see in my performance that there's a lack of confidence, especially in the first series. So it's not like this constant friction. It's just an ease, I guess because they're just used to each other now, which is really nice. In many ways, Charlotte Ritchie has become a defining face for a certain era of millennial female viewership.

” It's really good to do it at that point. But also, I feel like five series is a blessing. It's not often you get to the fifth series in a British sitcom. We only got three with Stath Lets Flats.

Certainly, the cast have plundered the set for memorabilia. Ritchie has snaffled Alison’s jumpers, Smith-Bynoe took Mike’s monocle, Howe-Douglas has Lady Button’s rings and Ben Willbond has taken the Captain’s stick. Rickard proudly holds up Humphrey’s severed head to camera.

I think that her and Mike have got into a bit of a routine with how it works with the ghosts. I think also she's sort of adopted an extended family, and I think the unconditional presence of them must have a steadying effect. Perhaps we have to accept that Ghosts is dead.

It just becomes part of your everyday life, really. So, it did feel like it was going to be a big shift not doing it anymore. I was actually and I didn't think I would be. But it was really emotional, realising that it would be our last lunch on the set of Ghosts, or it would be our last breakfast or coffee. Just because it's so busy on set, you don't really stop to think about those things until someone says it. And also, it has been our workplace for five years.

But the surprisingly compassionate reaction of stern Edwardian spook Lady Button (Martha Howe-Douglas) reveals more about her early life with her formidable mother Lavinia, played by guest star Jennifer Saunders. If you just can't wait to find out what happens next, all episodes of Ghosts season 5 are now streaming on BBC iPlayer. The series will ultimately conclude with a surprise Christmas special later this year.

It sounds fun, but what that actually does is fundamentally change the shape of the show and probably kill it. We tried to make a satisfying finale, but not do the expected. I think there's a warmth in all the characters, even the characters where we didn't expect to find any. Obviously, from day one everyone loved Pat because he’s the nicest ever human being.

As Alison makes her way through the pranking list, Mike has to deal with a “loss adjuster” from the insurance company, there to investigate the Gate House fire. There is talk of selling the land, a ghostly gameshow, a mishap with a walk-in safe and, towards the end of the run, a secret that threatens to unsettle everything. There is also a lot of talk of Is It Cake? They will get the answers from some of the questions of the characters' backstories and I hope that they feel that the ending does justice to the show, to the characters. It's hard to say as that's quite a tall order. I also hope that they feel optimistic at the end of it.

Luckily, the show has so much going on that we can still continue, and there's so much to get through. “I think that phrase is from Succession, but I’m sure I coined it first! In some ways, it’s cathartic to say, “OK, that’s it.

Both Ritchie and Smith-Bynoe would like to have a word with the writers. They’re not happy the show has come to an end. “I’ve got nothing in January,” she says. They are unemployed in a cost of living crisis while several of the writer-actors on the show have parlayed their fame into work on other lucrative franchises. Baynton can now be seen as Fickelgruber opposite Timothée Chalamet as the eponymous Wonka, while Simon Farnaby co-wrote Wonka, Paddington 2 and the forthcoming Paddington in Peru. I had to be taken to the makeup bus because I had ruined all Lady Button’s prosthetics!
