Description 1 online resource (52 minutes) Summary Lady Maud is desperate to have children but Sir Giles' refusal causes her to start divorce proceedings. Sir Giles seeks revenge by allowing a proposed new road to be built on their property and claiming the compensation from the government. However, he hasn't counted on their mysterious gardener, Blott, who may well turn out to be Lady Maud's unlikely hero. Based on Tom Sharpe's bestseller, this BAFTA-winning comedy drama is an epic farce about planning enquiries, motorway construction, stately homes and family disagreements. Not to mention the sex, violence, blackmail and anarchy. However much Lady Maud Lynchwood may inist, Sir Giles is more than reluctant to give her any children. She is desperate for an heir to her country estate and threatens Sir Giles with divorce. This triggers a manic chain of events, with many unforeseen and surprising consequences Notes Title from title screen (viewed May 16, 2022) Based on Tom Sharpe's bestseller Credits Executive producer: Brian Eastman Cast David Suchet, Geraldine James, George Cole, Julia McKenzie Notes In English Subject Sharpe, Tom, 1928-2013 -- Television adaptations SUBJECT Sharpe, Tom, 1928-2013 fast Subject Roads -- England -- Design and construction -- Drama Spouses -- England -- Drama Gardeners -- England -- Drama Historic buildings -- England -- Drama Environmental policy -- England -- Drama Environmental policy Gardeners Historic buildings Roads -- Design and construction Spouses England Genre/Form Drama Fiction television programs Television adaptations Television comedies Television mini-series Television comedies.
