Penelope Keith stars in the much-loved sitcom about an aristocrat forced to part with her family home

When her husband's death leaves her financially strapped, Audrey fforbes-Hamilton has no choice but to sell her beloved Grantleigh Estate. With butler Brabinger in tow, she decamps to the tiny Old Lodge cottage, where she keeps a close - and disapproving - eye on the new squire: the nouveau riche Richard DeVere, a wholesale food magnate of Czech descent.

In these ten episodes, Audrey attempts to educate the usurper in the ways of the Lord of the Manor - but as she tries to put DeVere in his place, she discovers he's no pushover... Will it be happy ever after for the indomitable aristocrat and the dashing self-made millionaire?

This classic comedy was originally intended for radio, but was transferred to TV instead where it ran for three highly successful series between 1979 and 1981, attracting almost 25 million viewers for its final episode. The show finally returned home to Radio 2 in 1997, adapted by Peter Spence from his own TV scripts. Penelope Keith and Angela Thorne reprise their starring roles as Audrey fforbes-Hamilton and Marjory Frobisher, with Keith Barron as Richard DeVere.

Took me back! Lots of LOL. Got used to it being a different Richard to the tv after an initial disappointment. Sorry no episode included a marriage proposal but still great value.

Highly Entertaining

For those looking for this to be a BBC Radio version of the original series, it's kind of half there. No Peter Bowles, no original Brabinger, Ned, Mrs Poo or other minor characters. Peter Bowles is replaced by Keith Barron, most other roles are all played by Frank Middlemass.

Having said this, most of the stories are the same; except one which is interesting where Audrey applies for a job believing it to be working for Richard, this was never a TV episode.

Some cringe moments (especially from Mrs Poo and "Brabinger") but all in all a good listen if you are a fan of the original TV series; gentle comedy.

Not all the original cast but enjoyable

I remember watching this wonderful series every Sunday night 🌙 with my parents back in the seventies, so was thrilled when I saw that it was on audible. I wasn't disappointed, actors and stories are really brilliant! it brought back a sense of nostalgia and just reminded me of those Sunday night's sitting in front of the tv 📺. Wonderful 👍

A trip down memory lane!
