DVD Description

David Tennant and Suranne Jones star in this touching and humorous drama about an ordinary man struggling to raise his family after the sudden death of his partner.

Dave's a family man; a photographer who adores his wife, Rita, and is an active dad to his three kids and his teenage stepdaughter, Lucy. But when Rita suddenly dies, a grief-stricken Dave faces the daunting prospect of bringing up the children on his own.

To make matters worse Dave uncovers secrets about Rita's life that lead him to question if he ever really knew her. Dave feels increasingly overwhelmed and his only support seems to come from Rita's devastated best friend Sarah, but in the midst of their shared grief, events take a turn that neither Dave nor Sarah could ever have predicted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arise, Sir David!, 3 Nov 2010
By 
NorthBrit (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Single Father [DVD] (DVD)
Many people will have missed this on television because it was broadcast at the same time as the unmissable Downton Abbey. However, if anyone omitted to record it, let me just whisper to you that it consists of the most compelling acting and original script writing.
Single Father is refreshing in that it avoids all the cliches of bereavement, of parenthood, of family relationships. The unexpected turn of events rings true. Single Father even avoids all the cliches about Glasgow, showing the city in a more realistic light.

Acting of the standard that David Tennant unfailingly produces can mean only one thing.....Arise, Sir David!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 8 July 2011
By 
H. O'Sullivan (Co. Kerry, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Single Father [DVD] (DVD)
I was one of those people who had missed 'Single Father' because of Downton Abbey and purchased the DVD pretty quickly on recommendation of a friend who had seen the drama on the telly. I was not disappointed.

Although sometimes hard to watch (I'm not good with grief), I found this 4-parter absolutely un-put-downable and would highly recommend it to anyone, not only David Tennant fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 8 Nov 2010
This review is from: Single Father [DVD] (DVD)
I have watched all four episodes of this brilliant drama and cannot recommend it highly enough. It tackles some very challenging issues with a reality that is refreshing. The acting is fantastic, enabling the viewer to be totally absorbed by the story line. As a father myself, I can feel myself being transported into the emotional turmoil the death of a partner and mother to your children would bring. The fact that there is a lightness to this story as well means you are able to continue watching all the way to the end, being entertained and challenged at the same time.
