Helping remembering the name of a UK comedy/drama series
Hope things the right sub.
I’ve been looking for the name of a UK tv series and have only the following to give from what I can remember:
- Produced somewhere around the late 80s to mid 90s
- The protagonist was some kind of businessman, I thought it was George Cole. If not him, someone similar looking
- What I think was part of the opening credits, was a recall of the beginning of it all. The protagonist (perhaps antihero?) is in a boat on a river, passing under a bridge. At the same time the ashes of an old lady are scattered above him and some of it lands in his mouth. The ghostly face of said departed lady appears as an overlay on screen, cackling as this seems to me she has some kind of possession over him, or at least enables her to haunt him.
I’ve tried IMDB and googling and dreaded AI, but I seem to have either overlooked it or drawn a blank. All help appreciated x
