Press clippings
Tessa Peake-Jones from Only Fools & Horses starred in this 1992-94 sitcom. It was about a family that move into a house haunted by a stereotypically-written, middle-aged Jewish mother (think Maureen "You got an 'ology!" Lipman in the BT ads). This BBC series was as ludicrous as it sounded but nowhere near as funny.
Lorna Cooper, MSN Entertainment, 12th August 2008In spite of the ghost, it is a lively comedy by Paul A Mendelson (There is another Paul Mendelson?) with the excellent George Costigan and Miriam Karlin, who reminds me of a Jewish version of De mortuis nil nisi bonum, "Dead don't make you better".
