It's quite the cadaverous conundrum in which Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) finds himself at the start of season 5, having made the schoolboy error of sacrificing his soul to Elias (Matt Walsh) with a view taking a shortcut to success for his new restaurant. He and wife Samantha (Rose McIver) — the only two living residents of the mansion — will need to get creative to find a solution to such devilish games.

While we're also sure to be visited by the return of much-loved spooks Thorfinn (Devan Chandler Long), Flower (Sheila Carrasco) and Sasappis (Román Zaragoza).

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching "Ghosts" on your usual subscription?
You can still watch S5 episodes thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

The U.S. version of "Ghosts" airs for free in the U.K. (with a TV license) on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
