Britain's Greatest Ghost Stories

I'm wondering if the low average rating is because there's some ambiguity around what genre this is actually supposed to fall into.

There's very little to go on from plot synopses or descriptions anywhere; and when you start watching, it looks like your run-of-the-mill paranormal investigation schtick, with some bad reenacting thrown in. (Ghost hunter shows are not my usual cup of tea, but I put it on at random because I was trying to see if I'd fixed a glitch that was preventing me from streaming videos.) I was soon asking myself if this was actually a mockumentary, and I think it must be. The investigators are just slightly over-the-top, and the re-enactments are just ridiculous enough that it seems bad on purpose.

In light of this, I'd say it's a fun watch and a decent example of the genre--but maybe it's juuuuust subtle enough that many watchers are taking it at face value, and rating it 1 star thinking it's a bad example of an earnest paranormal investigation show. I guess it hasn't had much exposure, so there are no reviews out there or other context to tell people different.

1 star is being generous. It starts with the narrator telling how they are going to use modern technology and intense research to prove or debunk these stories but none of them seem to come up with anything.

They are all clueless & the white haired one has convinced herself that she had magical powers to sence energy's it's just putting attention seekers in front of a camra.

You dont get to see them do anything apart from sit and talk into the camra.

The show was a complete waste of time save yourselfs the effort and watch something more entertaining.

Honestly watch something worth watching.

The "investigators" are actors. A satire mocumentary. Nothing more, nothing less. If you go in thinking it's all real, you'll be disappointed. If you go in knowing it's fake, it's a waste of time. You will gain nothing from watching it and lose nothing but your time.

I will now tell terrible jokes to meet the minimum characters required.

What type of birds stick together....?

Velcro(w)s

Whas the difference between a alligator and a crocodile....?

An alligator will see you later but a crocodile will see you in a while.

How you enjoyed the jokes.

To sum up, this mocumentary could have never been made and no one would have missed it.
