She plays Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton (with two F's), who inherits a large stately home after the death of her husband. No sooner has she taken sole charge of Grantleigh Manor than she finds that her husband was bankrupt and she is forced to sell up to rich London businessman Richard DeVere (Peter Bowles). Moving into the Manor's lodge, Audrey is determine to keep an eye on the new owner and to one day get back her home. Whilst at Grantleigh, Richard is finding that being Lord of the Manor comes with its own problems and responsibilities and that he could use Audrey's help.

Customer Reviews

Great Great Great
This is great - when are the others coming out on DVD.
The picture quality is fantastic, it's great to see the first series again.
I watched this as a child and the gags are funnier than ever watching them as an adult.

I highly recommend this and I can't wait for the others to be put on DVD.

brilliant - more please
Excellent - and worth every penny even if a little expensive. Is a timeless classic on same level as Dads Army.

It is one of those situation comedies that can be watched time and time again without getting bored.

Only trouble is why only 1st series - how about bring out ALL the episodes on DVD?

I would HIGHLY reccomend it

Watch this - it's fab
It was such a pleasure to watch this series again, it's a comedy series that involves a love story, representations of the English class system and an illustration of a piece of English history, the upper classes having to sell off their grand homes because they can no longer afford them.

Penelope Keith as Audrey is one of my favourite TV characters, she really is astonishing and highly amusing. I love this series and am very much looking forward to watching the following series when they are available on DVD (hurry up with that whoever makes them!).

The final episode ever had an audience of nearly 30 million when it aired, a record that wasn't broken until over a decade later. It's easy to understand why it was so popular.
