Mulberry – Complete Series 1 & 2 Box Set DVD – Tony Selby , Geraldine McEwan

All 13 episodes from the first two series of the BBC comedy starring Geraldine McEwan. Mulberry (Karl Howman) is the cheerful cockney son of Death and Springtime. He starts his ‘career’ as the Grim Reaper’s apprentice and is sent to collect the dour, snooty, acid-tongued, grumpy and reclusive Miss Farnaby (McEwan). He instead sweet-talks his way into joining the staff of Bert (Tony Selby) and Alice (Lill Roughley) in her creaky old manor house and soon becomes her personal servant. Suddenly, the dull old house is not dull anymore as Mulberry endeavours to help Miss Farnaby enjoy her life during the three-month extension grudgingly granted by his dad. In the second series, there is romance in the air at Farnaby Manor for both the lady of the house and for Mulberry – but, as ever, the course of true love does not run smooth, especially if Bert and Alice (Mary Healey) have anything to do with it.

For the first time ever series one and two of the BBC hit ‘Mulberry’ the hilarious tale of Death’s reluctant apprentice son and the po-faced recluse Miss Farnaby come together in this two DVD box set. Karl Howman and Geraldine McEwan star as one of TV’s most unlikely but endearing duos in this comedy classic from the celebrated writing team of John Esmonde and Bob Larbey creators of classic comedies including ‘Brush Strokes’ ‘The Good Life’ and ‘Ever Decreasing Circles’. Mulberry (Karl Howman) the cheerful cockney son of Death and Springtime was originally sent to collect Miss Farnaby’s soul (Geraldine McEwan) but instead finds himself as her elixir of life and the unofficial head of the household much to the disgruntlement of long-time house staff Bert and Alice. Laughs abound as Mulberry’s unique outlook on life brings new vitality to Farnaby Manor.
