I loved this show, and so was hoping they would get a good send off. This has been the best British sitcom in decades. The main premise of this episode was just fine, but the way they handled the ending just ruined it.
Ending it with the Mum reconciling that she has to let go would have been fine. Suddenly having them leave the mansion entirely because the Ghosts don't want to get in the way didn't make any sense, especially after it had been established at the end of season 5 they didn't want to leave because they loved it so much.
I suspect the cast just wanted to close the door on the show (as I'm sure is their right), and this was a way to do so without leaving it open for any future specials or seasons.
