Dead Man Weds
''Dead Man Weds'' is a six-part comedy series shown on ITV in Britain in January and early February 2005, and repeated on ITV2.

The billboard did not have quote marks around the word dead, which made Spikey laugh and so he developed the sitcom from that headline. In the series, a new editor, Gordon Garden (played by Spikey), is determined to shake up the newspaper. The acting editor, Lewis Donat (played by Vegas), is convinced that he should have been made editor himself, and believes that journalis ...
