Mulberry

I, too, found this show utterly charming, funny and heartwarming. Though I had viewed the episodes on Canadian PBS (out of Detroit) over ten years ago, the experience has left a lasting impression on me, inspiring me, too, (as the main character, Mulberry, does) to attempt to brighten the lives of others. Characters are rich, story lines thought provoking and actors play off of each other with great chemistry. What a noble show!--it's needed again in an era of crime dramas which showcase the despicable acts of humankind. I am longing for "Mulberry" to be released on video/DVD, or at least be aired again to that I may tape it. I've requested several times through BBCAmerica for this and hope that many others do as well.

I rely on PBS for quality TV and a much-needed break from the violence on American broadcasts. Fell in love with Mulberry the first time I saw it, and am so glad to see it being shown once again. Gentle, funny, poignant, intelligent...it has everything a person could want in good humor. I heartily agree with all of the commentators who also love it. I'm so looking forward to scenes that were downright hilarious, but don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not yet had the opportunity to enjoy it. However, I will comment that the British are not at all afraid to feature aging or aged characters as their leads. It's refreshing to realize that someone somewhere appreciates the richness of the lives of the more senior among us. Mulberry is one program where you can find that pleasure.

Beautiful 'love' story with many twists and turns. Not about romance, about honor and respect. Mulberry is whittier and more animated than an other character I have seen on the Tele. The writers have thought it through throughly. This is a timeless classic. It spans many generations, my 12 year old as well as my 75+ mother both enjoy it immensely. The characters interweave and become all better persons without knowing that they are all evolving. It is simple but not plain. The leading lady appears younger and more youthful as time goes on. Even the manor starts to exude life with the embellishments of multiple amounts of plants and flowers as the segments progress. I will own this and view it for years to come. None will not regret this series. Do not want to give details of story, thank you.

This short lived show aired on PBS, I loved it and sad the show ended. It's a fantasy TV series worth seeking out to watch.

Mulberry is a stranger in town. Miss Farnaby hires him to assist her with many tasks as she's up in her years. Mulberry is actually Death's son and was there to take her life but he found himself liking her as a mother and asked his father to keep her alive longer.

10/10.

Mulberry is a funny, witty Britcom that stars Karl Howman as the mild-mannered but always imposing Mulberry, servant to the cranky, elderly Miss Farnaby (Geraldine McEwan). Bert and Alice, two other servants of Miss Farnaby's, are much needed additions to the cast, as their incredulous reactions to Mulberry's actions make for some of the funniest parts of this series. Howman's character is charming and clever, always scheming, and highly intelligent (what more could you ask from the "son of death"?), and it is truly his acting abilities that pull this Britcom together. Some of the episodes are less funny than others, but the majority are the reason I keep tuning in Saturday after Saturday for rerun after rerun. Of course, the reason Mulberry is there is to eventually "kill" Miss Farnaby, so the series did not last indefinitely. Overall, this is one of the top Britcoms I've seen.
