IN LOVING MEMORY NOTE TV
RIP, a 1992 TV show produced by the Belgian BRT, borrowed many of its early screenplays directly from In Loving Memory.That's Your Funeral was a BBC Television sitcom based on a similar premise, but it only lasted for one series.Dame Thora Hird and Dick Sharples worked together on another ITV comedy series, Hallelujah!, which was also produced by Yorkshire Television and ran from 1983 to 1984 concurrently with In Loving Memory.The theme music, entitled 'Comedy Close Up No.2' by Herbert Chappell, was supplied by De Wolfe Music film and television music library. It was almost ten years later when another ITV company Yorkshire Television commissioned a series. The producers ( Thames Television) elected not to take the series any further. The pilot for the show aired on 4 November 1969 as part of a series of six one-off situation-comedies. Location shooting took place in both Bramham and Luddenden, West Yorkshire. The writer, Dick Sharples, chose this period as this was the time when undertakers were switching from horse-drawn to mechanical hearses. The setting for the show is the fictional Yorkshire town of Oldshaw during the 1920s and 1930s. Two Carry On stars appear throughout the series Joan Sims appears in three different episodes as different characters and Patsy Rowlands in two episodes as the district nurse, Lily Longstaff.Richard Wilson, famous for his role as Victor Meldrew in the sitcom One Foot in the Grave, appeared in two episodes of the programme, firstly as rival undertaker Percy Openshaw and secondly as the local vicar, Reverend Chadwick.A running subplot is Billy's pursuit of romance, often at the encouragement of Ernie Hadfield this later ends with Billy's marriage to old schoolfriend Mary Braithwaite - who had originally been set to marry Ernie. As might be expected, the accident-prone Ivy and Billy have numerous mishaps, and hardly a funeral goes by without something untoward occurring. This leaves his widow Ivy (Thora Hird) and gormless nephew Billy (Christopher Beeny) to take over the business. The year is 1929 and in the opening episode Jeremiah Unsworth ( Freddie Jones), the proprietor of the undertakers, dies.
