Certified

One unexpected birth. One hapless wedding. One bizarre death. And one man completely unprepared for any of them.

Tom Walsh has spent most of his life convinced happiness exists somewhere else.

Stuck in a Yorkshire market town he longs to escape, he drifts through relationships, avoids difficult decisions and tells himself that real life will begin once he finally leaves.

It never does.

Instead, life keeps turning up whether he's ready or not.

Across several years, Tom finds himself dealing with unexpected births, chaotic weddings and devastating loss. Each one arrives at exactly the wrong time and leaves him with another decision he'd rather avoid.

Set between the Yorkshire Dales and Leeds, Certified is a warm, funny and deeply human comedy drama about family, love, grief and growing up long after everyone assumes you already have.

At its heart is Tom's relationship with Dawn, the one person who refuses to let him hide behind excuses and half-finished plans.

Based on the award-winning memoir by Roger Wilson-Crane, Certified is the story of a man who spends years looking for a better life, only to discover he already had one.
