Comedy Family

In Cradle to Grave, 15-year-old Danny Baker is the guide through the ups and downs of life with the family. Fred ‘Spud' Baker is a proud south London docker with a penchant for cheeky scheming. Wife Bet loves him deeply but longs for the family to go 'straight' and play by the rules. With eldest daughter Sharon's looming wedding, the docks facing closure, and Danny's struggles to get closer to the opposite sex, times are tough.
