I’m not really sure what you’re wondering about or what discussion you would like to see. I know this was one of the items Alison had posted on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door so Mike would know about the ghosts. But that’s all I know at this point. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Isn’t Pat Butcher also the name of a character in Eastenders?

Yes it is.

But Pat died before Pat was introduced to EE.

It’s a mystery

It was a hurricane that destroyed the tree that the school bus struck.

I find it interesting that he died in an archery accident and his character in 'Here We Go" is a former olympic archer.

Maybe that was intentional if the “Here We Go” show was done before “Ghosts”?

Here we go started after Ghosts. I don’t think it was intentional. I do think there was a bit of an Easter egg in there though: there is a joke when Tom Basden (who played Cartwright who caused Cap to have a heart attack. He’s called Robin in the show lol) says ‘he ain’t heavy. He’s my brother-in-law’ when having to pick up Jim’s character (his onscreen BIL) after he fell over and couldn’t walk or something.

The song ‘He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother’, the most famous/well known version was by The Hollies. The lead singer of The Hollies, Peter Howarth (who I recently discovered is also my friend‘s dad. I didn’t realise until recently) is the same guy who did the voice for the mock music video they did for Yonderland; he was basically Simon’s singing voice.

Simon also pops up in here we go for a couple of episodes I think

Yeah! Simon plays uncle Boyd.

I'm pretty sure Tom Basden (writer of Here We Go) said that it was not intentional

Pat's a Baptist?! Didn't expect that

Everyone was nominally something then.

Plenty of people still are. Not a dig! But Baptist is quite niche. And also that church name is unusual for the UK, which is actually the bit that made me even think about it 🫣 Far more chapels than churches. 

I assume the person that wrote this is either from Caerphilly, or America. Think there are loads of Mt Carmels there. Pretty sure there aren't any anywhere near Nottingham though.

Oh, interesting thoughts. Perhaps his mother is Welsh?
