Mrs Merton and Malcolm is a British black comedy sitcom produced by Granada Television for BBC One, first broadcast from 22 February to 29 March 1999. Written by Caroline Aherne, Craig Cash and Henry Normal, it stars Aherne as Dorothy Merton and Cash as her adult son Malcolm, with Brian Murphy as family friend Arthur Capstick.

A spin-off from The Mrs Merton Show, the series is set in Heaton Norris, Stockport, and follows Mrs Merton and Malcolm’s tightly controlled daily routine, punctuated by visits from Capstick and Mrs Merton’s one-sided bedside conversations with her largely unseen, bedbound husband. Steve Coogan provides recurring voiceover roles throughout the series and appears on-screen in the final episode.
