Audrey fforbes-Hamilton enjoys all the little luxuries that a woman with her ancestry might expect - a country manor, a modest staff, the awed respect of the local village and a few thousand tucked away in the bank. But this all changes with the death of her husband, necessitating the sale of the fforbes-Hamilton ancestral home and a move to the coach-house with her ancient Rolls and equally ancient butler Brabinger - not to mention facing the horrors of the real world: supermarkets, laundromats, public transport and worst of all, possibly having to find a job! If all that isn't bad enough, the new Lord of the Manor is nouveau riche, owns a chain of supermarkets and isn't even English! From the iconic television series starring Peter Bowles and Penelope Keith.
