BBC One's beloved comedy Ghosts returned for its fourth season last week, once again following married couple Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) as they try turning inherited mansion Button House into a hotel – with very little assistance from the group of spirits who inhabit it.
The fourth season's premiere episode, which saw Alison and Mike welcome the first guests to their new gatehouse B&B, was dedicated to crew member Kevin Corbishley, who sadly passed earlier this year.
The dedication appeared just before the credits rolled, reading: "In loving memory of our friend Kevin Corbishley."

Who is Kevin Corbishley?
Kevin had worked as a light rigger on Ghosts since season two, but he tragically died just before the show began filming for its fourth outing.
From 2020 until his passing this year, Kevin had also worked as a rigger on the BBC drama Call the Midwife. For 15 episodes, he played a crucial role in the show's filming, with the final episode of season 11 being his last on the series.
The season 11 finale aired back in February and also paid tribute to him before the credits. The message read: "In memory of Kev Corbishley: 1965 - 2022."
Responding to a fan who had asked who Kevin was after the episode aired, the official Call the Midwife Twitter account replied: "A dearly loved member of our crew who died very recently. He will be missed."
Kevin also worked in the art department for the 2012 adaption of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
Ghosts season four sees the usual core cast reprising their respective roles. This includes Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – who have previously worked on Yonderland, Bill and Horrible Histories together – as well as their fellow ghosts and co-stars Lolly Adefope and Katy Wix.
Ghosts season 4 was released on BBC One on September 23, 2022. Seasons one, two and three are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
