Press clippings
Old ladies are a good deal franker and funnier about the fundamentals of life and death than they are given credit for. And Ada's an old lady who's going steady with a grave digger. The series is by Vince Powell and Harry Driver, a dependable brand name in comedy. Ada and her Walter are perhaps a fraction on the sweet side so far but, given time, they may show their dentures.
