A group of Ghosts superfans from Sweden have visited the stately home where the BBC sitcom was filmed, describing it as “a dream come true”.<\/p>\n

The five friends made the trip to West Horsley Place – the Surrey manor house where the programme is set – ahead of an upcoming film adaptation<\/a>, before attending the movie’s premiere in London.<\/p>\n

Amanda Helmfrid, dressed as character Alison Cooper, said it was “kind of surreal” to visit the property, known as Button House in the programme.<\/p>\n

“You only see something on screen and then to actually be in the place: amazing, but I can’t believe it’s real,” she told the BBC.<\/p>\n

Beatrice Gom\u00e9r, dressed as Sir Humphrey Bone, said it was “a dream come true to see a place where the series you love so much gets recorded”.<\/p>\n

Irma Kask, as Mary, told the BBC the group had wanted to make the trip “for years” so the visit was “a long time coming”.<\/p>\n

According to the West Horsley Place Trust, which maintains the Grade I listed property, the estate was a royal residence seized by Henry VIII in 1532 but has changed hands many times since.<\/p>\n

Canadian Troops were stationed at the property during World War Two. It is now used as an arts venue as well as a filming location.<\/p>\n

The estate will host drive-in cinema screenings of the upcoming film ahead of its wider release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A group of Ghosts superfans from Sweden have visited the stately home where the BBC sitcom was filmed,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-633308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
