TV tonight: paranormal panic as Ghosts returns to its haunting ways

Ghosts
8.30pm, BBC One

Welcome back to Button House, the inherited grand country pile that comes with more than just its fair share of damp and subsidence; there are a host of supernatural spirits to contend with, too. We open with Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) working towards finally making their home profitable by renting it out for events, yet when a paranormal photo of the house goes viral, they panic that its reputation might already be ruined. Perhaps the ghosts can put their own talents to use to lure in the visitors. Ammar Kalia
