SYNOPSIS: A comedy in two parts - 'The Wedding' and 'The Funeral'- both concerning the same family.
In the first episode we see the family preparing for a wedding. There’s the cars, the photographer, the seating arrangements and critical remarks from the groom’s relations don’t exactly help!
In the second episode six months later, the family return for the funeral of their Uncle Arthur and are confronted by the deceased’s live-in (and uninvited) girlfriend...
PLAYWRIGHTS: Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall co-wrote some of the most highly-acclaimed and successful plays of the time.
