A Better Place

Duration: 12 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Three HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Three HD

Available for years

An oddball family make a brave, but bungling, attempt to save their failing funeral home in the sleepy Scottish fishing village of Kincully. Archie, having recently inherited the floundering family business from his domineering dad, is determined to prove himself. His sister Moira, the company mortician, and hearse driver Cousin Ron are looking to Archie to prevent A Better Place Funeral Home from falling into the hands of Sympathy Plus, a corporate funeral chain run by the power-hungry Eileen.

Archie is also living in the shadow of his late father - literally. He keeps him in a great big freezer on the landing. With time running out, Archie hatches a plan to keep hold of the family business.

Will Archie’s scheme work? Or will A Better Place fall prey to Eileen’s growing empire? Show less
