Dead Man Weds

October 2004: Filming the final episode of Dead Man Weds, the Granada comedy drama written by and starring Dave Spikey, also starring Johnny Vegas, Michael Brandon and Keith Barron.

"Roundhead officer re-enactor" Michael Brandon (left) is challenged by his Royalist counterpart, played by Dave Spikey (right). As can be seen, the period clothing and weaponry supplied via Historical Film Services was very high standard, completely accurate and, indeed, rather more so than in many serious dramas and documentaries

We also carefully sourced over 50 top quality English Civil War soldiers (including mounted troopers, horses and a cannon), uniform and weaponry on behalf of Red Productions and co-ordinated them on set.
