Ghosts is a British sitcom first broadcast on BBC One in April 2019. The series follows a collection of ghosts from different historical periods haunting a country house while sharing the house with its new living occupants. The series is written and performed by many of the cast members of Horrible Histories and Yonderland, and is now in its third season.

While I do wonder if something happened to where he felt upset by something before this interview, I think people are also missing the dry and sarcastic humor that this actor also sports from time to time. If you look at the videos and stories that the show he’s on posts everyday, you get more of a feel of him. Forgot to add that the posts are mainly on Instagram..

in case you didn't or couldn't remember it, the Haradrim guy who dropped dead in front of Frodo when Faramir first showed up was very much white. Also the servants of Sauron were many and there's no shortage of "supposedly white" among them-Peter Jackson himself played a pirate shot by Legolas in the movie, and those Umbar pirates are mixed Numenors.

@marieroberts5458 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, Ghan-buri-ghan (spelling is right is think) was not part of the screenplay, so those movies only people have no idea who he and his people are. And considering that he is seen as a wild man, primitive and literally grass skirt wearing, with a thick, barely speak Common Tongue accent, good guy or not, people would complain. But yes, he was darker than the pale Northmen descended Rohirrim, and darker than the Gondoreans, but still more of an olive complexion than outright black or brown.

@sumanadasawijayapala5372 2 жыл бұрын

The Haradrim and Easterlings were definitely brown. Basically in Tolkien's stories, if you weren't white then you were on Sauron's side, because non-white people are inherently evil.

🤔 Awkwaaard! That has got to be the most out of sync, lacking in verbage, floundering, slightly contentious, cut short interview I've ever seen between Stephen and a Guest. Just say'n. P.S. Presently, I'm binging "Ghosts" on Demand (on S2), and am really enjoying it so far; it's fresh, it's clever, and it really keeps the viewer engaged. Most of all though, it really makes me laugh; a dose of humor we could all use, a much needed respite, from the sad, frightening, even maddening, upside-down status of our world right now. 😥🌎🙏🕊💞 Also, I am a fan of Utkarsh, and, I think he's really great in this role; as is the rest of the cast. 🙂🎬🎭📺⭐️ #LateShow #StephenColbert #Ghosts #UtkarshAmbudkar #CBS
