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 inimitable 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). A much-loved comedy series set in a fictional Lancashire mill town. This release contains the fifth and final series.
