    The UK version's ghosts are:

    - "Robin", a caveman
    - Humphrey, a Tudor era nobleman (1500s)
    - Mary, a 17th century peasant woman (1600s)
    - Kitty, a Georgian noblewoman (late 1700s)
    - Thomas, a Regency era poet (early 1800s)
    - Lady Button, Edwardian era landowner (early 1900s)
    - James, a Word War II army captain
    - Pat, a boy scout leader (early 1980s)
    - Julian, a Member of Parliament (~1990)

    Plus the plague era ghosts (1300s) in the basement and one or two
    others that appear briefly during the show's run.

    None of the ghosts can leave the area around Button House, where they died.

    And in the US version?

    But YOU, Binky, prefer the U.K. version so YOU, Binky, must already know
