Came upon this series by accident. I purchase many British TV DVDs from Amazon.co.UK and this complete series was going cheap and being a great fan of men behaving badly, i thought lets give it a go.
We sat down one rainy afternoon and nine episodes later, said we must go to bed. This is a brilliant series, certainly not a comedy as some might think, there are many heart rendering moments. William (Martin Clunes) is an undertaker by default and Mary (Julie Graham) is a midwife so you can imagine death is around them but there is also so much joy. What a premise to a series, one partner brings new life in to the world and the other gently takes it away.
The writer and directors from the very first episode have built a tight and wonderful story based on the characters rather than the plot. Each character and there are many in each episode are acted perfectly. There are many twists and funny/sad moments especially in episode four.
I'm glad this show did not get under the radar, do yourself a favour and buy the entire series and then pass it on, but make sure you get it back , you will watch it again.
Thank goodness for British television - from Australia, we thank you.

I was pleasantly surprised by this TV show, after purchasing the DVD we could not stop watching the complete series. From the first minute with the family singing viva las Vegas, we were in there and away.
Brilliant acting from all especially the great David Morrissey,David Tennant and Sarah Parish What a wonderful near on 6 hours of laughter and suspense we had.
My question is can any one name any other shows similar to Blackpool?
I have just purchased Sex Chips and Rock and Roll along with Funland, are we in the right direction and any others?
The Singing Detective with Michael Gambon was in a similar genre.
Thanks for your help from Australia
