Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond play restless spirits who have died in the crumbling country pile over the centuries: each ghost a product of their time, resigned to squabbling with each other for eternity over inane daily gripes.

The spectral characters include a Tory MP who died in embarrasing circumstances, a 'wilderness club leader' and a witch.

Ghosts is due to air on BBC One next year.
