Bloomin' Marvellous(1997)

Bloomin' Marvellous is a 1997 BBC comedy series written by playwright John Godber and starring Clive Mantle, Sarah Lancashire, and Kathryn Hunt. The show follows a couple navigating the decision to start a family, blending domestic humor with character-driven storytelling. While most critics dismissed the series, some reviewers including The Mail on Sunday's Brian Viner praised its charm, strong performances, and genuine laughs—qualities they noted are far from guaranteed in television comedy. The cast endured notably harsh reviews, though the show found defenders who appreciated its warmth and wit beneath the surface.
