Tales From The Town #5: There Is No Such Thing As Ghosts
They were hiding in the long grass in the hollow, watching the world go by. They could see out but no one could see in. Not even the dogs.
“Hana told Mum that Oya went to the ruins and Anna was there reading a book and there was a ghost there watching her and Anna wasn’t even scared at all,” Ethel said.
“There is no such thing as ghosts,” Claire said.
“There is,” Ethel insisted.
“There isn’t,” Claire said.
“What about Lucas?” Ethel said.
“He’s not a ghost,” Claire said. “He’s a reflection.”
“From the past!”
“He’s still not a ghost.”
“What about Lucy?” Tina asked.
“She’s not a ghost either,” Claire said. “She’s a memory.”
“But that’s what a ghost is!” Tina said. “A memory of yourself that never fades away.”
“But Lucy’s not her memory. She’s ours,” Claire said. “We’re not allowed to forget her.”
“She still sounds like a ghost to me,” Tina said.
“She’s not a ghost at all!”
“What about David?” Daniel asked, pointing to lonely figure moving glacially along the horizon line. His beard followed along behind him like a trail of smoke.
“He’s not a ghost. He’s a ghoul.”

Thank you!The Concurrent Violent Penguin (Series Four)
The unbroadcast (and some say unbroadcastable) fourth series of Violent Penguin was quite a departure from earlier episodes, and proved jarring to viewers used to the classic Violent Penguin style, and harrowing to viewers unused to the moon.
In the final episode, it is implied that Violent Penguin eventually returned to earth, perhaps to undertake untold adventures over the many long years of his life to come. Yet many observers have suggested that the great tragedy suggested by The Concurrent Violent Penguin (Series Four) is that Violent Penguin never left the moon, and was trapped there forever.
Toby Vok is known to dispute the idea that this was a tragedy.

In this, the final episode of the fourth series, Violent Penguin is on the moon. There is not enough to see or do on the moon.
