The Best Ever TV Series,
By
This review is from: William and Mary (DVD)
Even if you're not a Martin Clunes fan, and I most certainly am so I may be preduced, but this is a truly well-written, beautifully acted series with a marvelous raport between the two leads, William and Mary played by Martin Clunes and Julie Graham. The supporting cast is just so outstanding. There isn't one weak link and then the scripts are so on, so true to reality. Obviously, the author has been married for years and has more than one child. The direction is very appealing - William is an undertaker and Mary is a midwife - and each episode has a story of each profession played out with marvelous music. Martin Clunes' acting and obvious humor make this a must see. I was delighted to see he has a great singing voice too.

I am a midwife and I LOVED this series!!!,
By Nancy Wainer "midwife" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: William and Mary (DVD)
As a midwife, I have no time to watch television - but I watched this series, every minute of it - and loved it. It was alternately warm, funny, silly, ridiculous, predictable, not predictable, and wonderful! In addition, with the exception of one very short segment, it portrayed the life of a midwife extraordinarily well. The writing was terrific, and the juxtaposition of Mary's work as a midwife, and William's work as an undertaker, especially in episodes 6 and 7(or was it 7 and 8?!)was brilliant. The acting is great and the characters (okay, Mary's mother is a little overdone!) engaging. The development of the relationship between William and Mary is outstanding, and her portrayal of midwifery noteworthy. I made time to see every episode, and it was well worth it each time -relaxing, fun and touching. My partner liked it, too - when it was all over, he asked if now I would sit and watch 12 episodes of something like "The Terminator" with him - of course, the answer was no! - but he actually was the one who would often say to me, "So, do you want to watch the next William and Mary tonight?"

Endearing Characters and Entertaining, Well-written Story,
By Donegal Dan - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: William and Mary (DVD)
This is a charming series about the ups and downs of a pair of single parents who meet through a dating service and manage to make things work despite many misunderstandings, aborted plans, eccentric relatives, unusual professions, and teenage problems. However, lest you get the wrong idea, this is not a British version of The Brady Bunch, thank God. It is a well-written, funny, poignant and fast-moving saga of people trying to get together and make a go of their relationship. In the process they have to deal with, among others, a wacked-out and really irritating mother (the bride's), a decent but rather clueless ex-boyfriend, a not-so-decent and intrusive ex-husband (maybe), four teenagers of varying irritation quotients and their own professional problems. My only criticism of the series is that there are a seemingly endless number of childbirth scenes (the heroine being a midwife and all) which get a bit repetitive after a while. Otherwise, a very entertaining and endearing series with excellent performances by all, especially Martin Clunes. Highly recommended.
