\"Blackpool\"<\/a>– Oh and ehmm, Mr. Holden, just one question and I\u2019ll be gone.
\n– What you want to know?
\n– What\u2019s an A. W. P?
\n– Amusement With Prizes, like that machine you\u2019re just been playing.<\/p>\n

Ripley Holden dreams of a big amusement arcade, a hotel and earning big time money. However he has a hard time to keep even his small arcade business running. After a dead body is found in his arcade things start getting worse. The investigation progresses only slowly and isn’t beneficial for the business. Furthermore Holden\u2019s family drifts further and further apart from each other.<\/p>\n

BBC\u2019s Blackpool (IMDb<\/a>, Wikipedia<\/a>) is a six part dramedy with sing-along parts. It\u2019s a pretty straight forward drama with affairs, conflicts, twists and intrigues around non-stop-shouting Holden and his arcade. The song-parts are a little strange. It\u2019s a musical where the actors sing the song. Instead actors sing along to the original music. Surprisingly this is refreshing and fun to watch and listen =).<\/p>\n

A nice little short series. Thank you for the tip Julia@49sun<\/a>. There\u2019s actually a follow up TV-movie, Viva Blackpool (IMDb<\/a>, Wikipedia<\/a>), which I haven\u2019t watched so far.<\/p>\n
