MUM is a family sitcom seen through the eyes of Cathy. We follow a year in her life as she moves on from the death of her husband. Starting with the family gathering for the funeral in January and ending on New Year’s Eve, we watch them through the major and minor events of a year. It’s the story of a woman finding who she is again and maybe, if she could only see it, finding love second time around.
“This is the most finely crafted comedy…an absolute gem”
(Mail on Sunday – Event)
“The spirit of Mike Leigh is all over this flinty new sitcom. Excellent cast… Manville is super as Cathy”
(The Guardian – Guide)
“It’s wonderfully observed, sweet and laugh-out-loud funny”
(TV Times)
“There has been a slew of top-notch, inventive and varied British sitcoms in recent weeks but threatening to eclipse the lot is Mum”
(Times on Saturday – Review)
“…beautifully observed and acted opener…absolutely hilarious”
(Heat)
