A spin-off from the hugely successful Mrs. Merton Show, Mrs. Merton and Malcolm finds BAFTA-winning comedienne Caroline Aherne’s acerbic octogenarian chat show hostess at home in her role of doting mum to the 37-year-old Malcolm (co-writer Craig Cash).

This darkly comic series also features sitcom legend Brian Murphy (George and Mildred, Man About The House) as forgetful family friend Arthur Capstick, and a guest appearance by Steve Coogan. Released for the first time on DVD, the series comprises all six episodes from 1999.

Episode 1: It's Malcolm's 37th birthday. The potted beef sandwiches are prepared and it's time for the guests to arrive...

Episode 2: Malcolm rises to the challenge of a game of tiddly-winks with next-door neighbour Justin.

Episode 3: Malcolm finds love at the chemist's. But does shop assistant Judith Potts feel the same way about him?

Episode 4: Malcolm is poorly. He doesn't want to bother the doctor, but Mrs. Merton is insistent...

Episode 5: Has Mrs. Merton found the perfect partner for Arthur Capstick?

Episode 6: As Mrs. Merton struggles to cope with the loss of her bedridden husband, Malcolm must adjust to his new role as man of the house.
