Mixed Blessings
The Complete First Series

Created and written by Sid Green (Morecambe and Wise: Two of a Kind, The Strange World of Gurney Slade) Mixed Blessings stars Christopher Blake (That's My Boy) and Muriel Odunton as a mixed-race couple struggling to placate their disapproving and constantly bickering families. Mixed Blessings – The Complete First Series is available to own on 27th February 2012, RRP £12.99.

Graduates Thomas Simpson and Susan Lambert are young lovers who are about to embark on married life. But their happiness is tempered by a deep trepidation. Social worker Susan is black, and out-of-work engineer Christopher is white… and breaking the news of the marriage to their respective families is only the beginning of their problems!

Exasperated by the anxieties of both sets of in-laws, the newlyweds decide to take up an offer of accommodation from Christopher's sympathetic aunt, Dorothy – the only relative who believes the marriage will actually work…

This popular and – for its time – provocative series also stars much-loved sitcom stalwarts Carmen Munroe (The Fosters), Joan Sanderson (Please Sir!), and Ernest Clark (Doctor…).
