Synopsis
BLACKPOOL is a crime thriller like no other. It’s a musical, though every bit as bold and edgy as similarly-themed shows. Set and around the city of the title, BLACKPOOL centres on arcade owner Ripley Holden. Is a man with grand allusions and so driven in business, he neglects his family. His wife Natalie seems to be drawing attention from elsewhere and his daughter Shyanne seems to fall victim to her taste in men. As he desperately tries to balance his professional and personal lives, it’s always in the hope that the big time is just around the corner, but for Ripley, something a lot more troublesome awaits. When a dead body is found in his most prestigious arcade, Ripley finds himself chief suspect in a murder investigation.

Customer Reviews

The doctor dances!
Brilliant script, superb acting, fun song and dance routines and of course David Tennant at his witty, sexy, gorgeous, brooding best. Personally I could have done without some of the musical numbers but that's just nit-picking. I have watched this DVD over and over again (great for filling in a couple of hours on a wet afternoon when you've got a pile of ironing to do!). I don't think I'll ever tire of the scene where he tells Sarah Parrish 'all the things we won't do.' Wonderful stuff.

Blackpool
This was one of the best drama serials I have seen in a long time. It has a fresh approach to drama, viewed through the different songs, some good comedy moments and great acting from David Tennant, David Morrissey and Sarah Parish. These are the people who make drama great.

"A MUST BUY FOR DAVID TENNANT FANS"
I am a big David Tennant fan and if you love David like me then you must buy Blackpool, he is brilliant in this and absolutely gorgeous. I thought i would probably be buying Blackpool just cause he was in it but i loved it, it's very funny and David Morrisey is superb too. The music is great I have just brought the cd as well. So a BIG reccomendation go and buy!
