Synopsis

William and Mary is a romantic comedy about two people's search for the perfect partner.

Widowed father of two William Shawcross is captivated by the dark-haired divorcee he sees on a dating agency video and rejects all the other candidates.

His first date with mother-of-two Mary Gilcrest isn't a big success, and Mary's mother has her own ideas about the right husband for her daughter.

But can the obvious chemistry between William and Mary overcome the obstacles in their path? Not least their wildly different jobs: she is a midwife and he is an undertaker...
