FUNLAND - SERIES 1 DISC 1 EPS 1-5 (2005)

BRIAN KIRKSUSAN TULLY

Plot

Without a penny to his name and carrying only a fragment of paper containing the words Ambrose Chapel, Carter Krantz arrives in Blackpool to avenge the death of his mother and is sucked into the most disturbing of mysteries. The dysfunctional Woolf family are at the heart of everything that happens in Blackpool; there's Shirley Woolf, a borderline psycho, his mother, the evil and manipulative Mercy, and his foolhardy wife Connie. Also in town are the Suttons, Dudley and Lola, hoping for a dirty weekend to spice up their marriage. Little do they suspect that their stay in the Shangri-la guesthouse will turn their world upside down. Funland is a darkly witty thriller - the result of a collaboration between BAFTA award-winning EastEnders writer, Simon Ashdown, and Jeremy Dyson, multi-award-winning writer of The League of Gentlemen.
