- Synopsis:
"Mulberry" is a stylish, charming, witty and poignant sitcom 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". It stars Karl Howman of "Brush Strokes" and Geraldine McEwan of TV's "Marple" fame, together with comedy stalwarts Tony Selby and Lill Roughley who have starred in many a sitcom over the years including such hits as "Get Some in", "Love Hurts", and "My Hero". Mulberry, (Karl Howman) the cheerful cockney son of Death and Springtime, starts his "career" as the Grim Reaper's apprentice when he is sent to collect the dour, snooty, acid-tongued, grumpy and reclusive Miss Farnaby (Geraldine McEwan). He instead sweet talks his way in to 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. Laughs abound as Mulberry tries to do his best for everyone concerned despite often upsetting the devoted Bert and Alice, and without anyone finding out the secret of his true identity and his reasons for being there. A must-see comic masterpiece that's pure enjoyment for all the family.
