- Welcome to the world of Davis & Bennett, a mismatched pair of travelling salesmen in the business of cleaning skeletons out of closets. Together they travel across Britain, wandering in and out of other people's lives, performing 'the Procedure' whereby hidden secrets and lies are exposed.

gentle comedy - Skeletons review by CP Customer
a right oddity (in a good way), slow, endearing and gentle comedy, perhaps more of a straight drama than a laugh out loud comedy. still, recommended if you don't mind a slow burner.

Hitchhikers guide to the Midlands. - Skeletons review by JD
There is a contemporary Douglas Adams feel to this plot which has a distinctive eccentic English Midland quality. While the main focus is on the central 2 characters the context is a sci-fi meets feng shui. It is however a little overstated for a British black comedy . The plot is interesting and quirky and probably better than the acting. Worth watching for its originality.

Sheer genius - Skeletons review by CP Customer
This is one of those rare works that doesn't sound one wrong note. Everything is perfectly timed and balanced and the result is gently funny while also poignant. Wonderfully original and quirky it is ultimately about loss and how we attempt to cope with it. Brilliant casting and fantastic use of the English countryside. It is genius and, hopefully, will be recognised as a classic. Fantastic--must go and watch it again!
