This story of the bright lights and faded grandeur of Britain's famous seaside resort is both entertaining musical and a thrilling murder mystery. A darkly comic look at greed, love and family, the story follows the rise and fall of local arcade owner Ripley Holden, a charismatic family man with a dark past, who is now poised to make top dollar - if the city can successfully reinvent itself as the Las Vegas of the Lancashire coast.
As Ripley struggles to keep his chaotic family in check, he hangs on to one hope: that the good life is just around the corner. But he soon finds himself under suspicion and out of control, when a young man is found dead in his showpiece arcade. Investigating officer Carlisle is determined to get to the truth, no matter what it takes...
Contains all 6 episodes from the 2004 TV series and the 2006 one-off special "Viva Blackpool".

Ok the 5 stars i have given this dvd is for the original blackpool, it was one of the best things on tv, i actually missed the first 2 episodes on tv and couldn't wait to get the dvd when blackpool was released on its own,i must of preordered it aout 5 months in advance.
As for viva blackpool i was very disappointed,only two people of the original cast where in and it didn't follow on, i'm not saying its definatly not worth watching it is but it isn't as good as blackpool.
