Mike is hoping that his parents have a nice peaceful time, but that’s not going to happen with Lady Button and co ready to cause mischief.

But he reverts to the position he’s always had in the family and his sisters call him The Incredible Sulk! It’s important seeing a black family on screen at Christmas in a mainstream show, so I’m excited," explains Kiell, who plays Mike.
Meanwhile, Alison is determined to make sure that being dead doesn’t stop the ghosts having a good Christmas. But, it’s an emotional time for Julian as he has to confront his past when he delves into memories of his former life.
