Bloomin' Marvellous is a 1997 BBC comedy series starring Clive Mantle, Sarah Lancashire, and Kathryn Hunt. Written by playwright John Godber, it is described as "a comedy about a couple who decide to start a family."[1] The series was panned by most critics,[2] and Mantle sarcastically remarked that "I've seen murderers and rapists get a better press than we did."[3]
Bloomin' Marvellous was due to debut on BBC1 on 1 September 1997,[4] but was postponed to the following week due to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales the night before. It was replaced by extended news coverage and by a documentary about the late princess.[5]
