Blackpool is a rollercoaster ride around the bright lights and faded grandeur of Britain's famous seaside resort. A darkly comic - and occasionally musical - look at greed, love and family, through the rise and fall of local arcade owner Ripley Holden.
Meet Ripley Holden - family man, businessman, Jack-The Lad, Bully. Trained at the school of hard knocks. Ripley is poised to make top dollar as Blackpool reinvents itself as the Las Vegas of the North. But, life is never so simple. His son Danny is troubled; daughter Shyanne is rebellious and petulant and his wife Natalie feels neglected; his business partners are untrustworthy and the council planning committee unbribable and unreliable.
When the body of a young man is found in Ripley's showpiece arcade, events begin to spiral out of control. Young Di Carlisle has got his teeth into Ripley's affairs - and has his eye on his wife...
Viva Blackpool:
David Morrissey returns as anti hero Ripley in a one-off sequel to the sparkling, award-winning series Blackpool. Back in the seedy seaside town, a twisting, turning tale is interspersed with more impromptu musical fantasies - including songs of Johnny Cash, Tom Jones and others.
Ripley Holden is back. Make that the Reverend Ripley. Having licked his wounds from his marriage break-up. He's newly returned from the bright lights and casinos of Vegas where he discovered God.
Back at his spiritual home, Ripley has established Blackpool's first Vegas-style Chapel Of Love. With his daughter Shyanne as his assistant, the 'Reverend' performs themed wedding ceremonies from Dickens to Hogwarts. Ripley's content with his lot - a caravan in the Chapel car park - then he falls head over heels with hilted-at-the-altar Kitty De-Luxe and his mate dies and leaves him his football memorabilia, including the Jules Rimet Trophy.
But is Kitty everything she seems? Will he have to steal his own inheritance? And will Ripley finally come out on top in this story of love, loss, blackmail and ice-dancing among the shimmering lights and seedy side streets of this glitzy seaside town?
