"Bet Fwee Six Foive!"

One thing I find very strange in Unforgotten, is how the suspects and witnesses always know it's a copper approaching their house (or office). Even if they must have strangers in and out of the doors of their office all day every day, they look out the window, see Sunny or Cassie (who are always in civilian clothing) and they immediately start sweating. Or bolting. Or any other thing that reveals that they know these people are coming to interrogate them. Always.

Sweating =Guilty.

Last night I got to the end of season two of olde, original Star Trek which was that weird failed spinoff episode featuring secret agent Gary Seven and his magic cat.
I'd forgotten about that one.
I did consider having a break between the two seasons but it's Spock's Brain next and who can resist Spock's brain?

Unfortunately Unforgotten is one of those crime shows where EVERYONE has a dirty secret that makes them sweat and refuse to tell the truth when the police shows up....

So.... ghosts.... How come if they can't touch things, lift things, grab things etc.... they can still walk on floors, use elevators and stay inside a moving car?

Yes, I always like to say that to people too.

The worst one is in "Ghost" where Patrick Swayze jumps from one train to another. Leaping off one floor, through a wall, then another wall, then lands on the floor of the other train travelling in the opposite direction?!

And why do ghosts wear clothes?
Do clothes have spirits too?
If one person dies wearing a coat. Then some poor homeless person steals the coat off the body and then they die too whilst wearing it. Which ghost gets the ghosty coat?

what if we're all surrounded by dead people running around nekkid!?

I'd just calmly ask them how they're defying the basic laws of physics and then they'd disappear in a puff of logic.

ahhhh.
Except they're invisible too so you can't tell when to ask them...

But that subway scene does explain all that and establish the "rules" of ghostery.
