Plot

Cradle to Grave is a British autobiographical miniseries created by Danny Baker, about his formative years in the 1970s. Produced by ITV Studios for BBC Two, it stars Laurie Kynaston as Danny, with Peter Kay and Lucy Speed as his parents Spud and Bet.

So too are Danny's attempts to get closer to the opposite sex.

How the Pulse Score works

For series, Pulse starts from the IMDb rating shrunk by vote count, then applies FORMAT CALIBRATION. Series score systematically higher than films on IMDb, so using the raw number would unfairly push a show like Cradle to Grave to the top of a film catalogue. Calibration maps the series distribution onto the film one; meaning 68 is COMPARABLE to a film with the same Pulse.

One more difference from films: Letterboxd does not track series, so series Pulse derives from a single source (IMDb) rather than two.
