- 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 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). This much-loved comedy series set in a fictional Lancashire mill town was a huge commercial success for Yorkshire Television, running for five series between 1979 and 1986; this release contains every episode of Series Four, originally screened in 1983 and 1984.
