No one said the road to romance
wasn?t bumpy. Just ask William Shawcross (Martin Clunes,
Shakespeare In Love; Men Behaving Badly; Goodbye, Mr. Chips) who finds
few women are excited at the prospect of dating an undertaker. When he
sees Mary (Julie Graham, Dirty Tricks, Agatha Christie?s Marple: Towards
Zero, At Home with the Braithwaites) on a dating service video, William
is captivated?hoping against hope she?s not too busy bringing people
into the world as a midwife to date someone whose job it is to see them
out. Each heartwarming episode sees Mary bring new life into the world
while William gently takes it away. These are character-driven stories with
clever plots and familiar themes, from a deadbeat ex and an interfering
mother to rude stepchildren. You?ll laugh, cry and cringe with knowing
embarrassment through six episodes of this brilliant, quirky and often
moving British TV series about two people tripping down the imperfect
path of true love.
