Births, Deaths & Marriages, 9pm ITV, 4 & 11 Feb

Interesting idea for a documentary.

Before you groan and dismiss this as yet another workaday fly-on-the-wall documentary series, pause and linger. Births, Deaths and Marriages is a touching peek into moments in our lives when we are at our happiest and saddest.

Got this on now, half watching Fulham v Sheffield United as well. Looks quite interesting I think.

Meet the woman who registered Prince George's birth at Kensington Palace!

Watching this at the moment

This couple on here at the moment, having a 4 minute wedding are definately odd. No rings and no music..well I suppose it keeps it simple.

I was roped in as a witness for a couple getting married in the Elvis Presley chapel in Las Vegas!

They had the "proper" one a few days later

Yep, in a field!!!!

Oh I'm crying at the woman who found her brother before her mum died, so that she could see him before she died. What a lovely story, and lovely that brother and sister are still close now.

[Deleted User] · 05/02/14 - 02:30

Quite a feel-good programme. I like it.

It is isn't it? Makes a really nice change...

Who realised how many registrars are actually at a registry office..I certainly didn't..

Leicester_Hunk · 05/02/14 - 02:36

That registrar guy sounds like Graham Norton

Leicester_Hunk · 05/02/14 - 02:44

What does he mean "in gay years"? 14 years is forever?

Leicester_Hunk · 05/02/14 - 02:55

She's 55? I think she has had work done

Aye, that was nice.
Thought Registrars would 'get over' the emotion of Births, Deaths and Marriages, obviously not for some.

This is making me think of BBC's Death Unexplained.

[Deleted User] · 05/02/14 - 02:59

Crikey - register a birth, then the death a few weeks later. That must be hard.

cavalli · 05/02/14 - 03:00

Goodness, that poor couple

curmy · 05/02/14 - 03:01

That poor young couple have lost their baby

Croctacus · 05/02/14 - 03:02

OMG...my daughter and I were in tears at that last couple....

Andagha · 05/02/14 - 03:02

What a lovely programme

But so sad at the end, I really thought that baby Joanna was going to be okay when the couple registered her birth. How sad for them to have to register her death a week later

Me too, can't believe I cried over the woman that found her brother for her mum before mum died, and now I'm bawling over this. Lovely how the production company put a post script at the end for the little one

She was a lovely baby

Had to flick back to their first interview as thought their eldest had a problem too, then realised that was obviously before the death made it even harder to see

Prince Monalulu · 05/02/14 - 03:14

Reminder set for next week.

Hotgossip · 05/02/14 - 03:22

Really enjoyed this prog. My friend is a registrar and loves her job.

I have to say I did agree with the comments about the handwriting on The prince's birth certificate. It was very untidy and just didn't look professional.

Hey there!
