Dead Man Weds is a six-part comedy series shown on ITV in Britain in January and early February 2005, and repeated on ITV2.
[1] The series was written by Dave Spikey, who played the part of Jerry St Clair in Phoenix Nights.
The billboard did not have quote marks around the word dead, which made Spikey laugh and so he developed the sitcom from that headline.
The acting editor, Lewis Donat (played by Vegas), is convinced that he should have been made editor himself, and believes that journalism involves going on a break as soon as he gets in, stealing stories from old newspapers and getting the rest of the news from Joan at the cake shop, Cake That.
The production company has announced that the series will not be released on DVD because of problems obtaining copyright clearance for the music used.
