- Synopsis:
Oldshaw, 1929; when you could enjoy a night out at the Theatre Royal, a pint in the interval, a hot pie on the way home - and still have change from a shilling. You could also have an argument with a brewer's dray and end up as a client of Unsworth and Co., Undertakers and Monumental Masons...and be given one of the most disastrous funerals in the long and noble history of undertaking. Thora Hird brings her unique sense of humour to the role of Ivy Unsworth, widow of funeral director Jeremiah, who has been left to run Unsworth and Co. along with her accident-prone nephew, Billy (Christopher Beeny). This release contains every episode of Series Three, originally screened in 1982, along with that year's Christmas Special.
