**********



Both morbid and joyful, British

sitcom Mulberry begins when a

quirky young man with a penchant

for floral waistcoats named Mulberry

(Karl Howman, Brush Strokes) shows

up on the doorstep of a sullen, surly

old woman named Miss Farnaby

(Geraldine McEwan, The Magdalene

Sisters, Mapp & Lucia, Miss Marple).



The irrepressible Mulberry proceeds

to unsettle the servants--Bert

(Tony Selby) and Alice (Lill Roughley

in the first season, Mary Healey in

the second)--as he puckishly lures

Miss Farnaby into a fuller, happier

life.



But unbeknownst to Miss Farnaby,

Mulberry harbors a secret: He's the

son of Death and Springtime and

he's been sent by his father (John

Bennet) to carry the old woman over

the threshold



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'.



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 into

joining the staff in her creaky old

manor house and soon becomes her

personal servant. Suddenly, the dull

old house is not dull anymore as

Mulberry endeavors 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.
