Mulberry

Mulberry is the son of the grim reaper and his first job is to bring the rather dower old maiden Miss Farnaby to "the other side." Only he finds, instead, ways of showing her how to live a life she has always regretted she never had, and in the process fails hilariously at his the job he is supposed to be inheriting from his father. The interactions with the other household staff are a constant source of mayhem. Despite the consternation of her staff, Miss Farnaby manages to blossom under the tutelage of the mysterious Mulberry.

This is one of the most enjoyable of the British Comedy TV series I have ever seen and I regret that it is only 13 episodes long. Every one that I have seen is a gem and I keep wishing my PBS station would re-run the series.

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.

Ingenious, sweet-natured, and perhaps even better focused for being a limited-run series -- the actors seem to be having a great time and the scripts are really well-crafted. The local (Seattle) PBS station is running these and they're worth watching the schedule for!

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.

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.
