To The Manor Born - To the Manor Born: Series 1 review by OL
Probably Penelope Keith's most enduring role. When her old money family loses her home to the nouvea riche Peter Bowles who is in trade. Her worst nightmares come about. Watch past the first episode as it was still finding its feet. Pretty obvious plot but depends if you feel comedies need to be full of swearing to be funny. Think father ted instead of shameless.
