Dead Man Weds is a British comedy series consisting of six episodes, which aired on ITV during January and February of 2005, with subsequent reruns on ITV2.
The series was penned by Dave Spikey, recognized for portraying Jerry St Clair in Phoenix Nights. Produced by the Red Production Company, the cast featured Spikey alongside Johnny Vegas.
The narrative focuses on the employees of a fictional newspaper named The Fogburrow Advertiser. The show's title was inspired by an actual newspaper headline that omitted quotation marks around the word "dead," prompting Spikey to create the sitcom.
Filming occurred at multiple sites, including Castleton in Derbyshire. The opening theme is a rendition of Jonathan King's "It's Good News Week", a song originally popularized in 1965 by Hedgehoppers Anonymous.
