EPISODE 2 IN A MAJOR BBC DRAMA STARRING TIMOTHY SPALL, DAVID WALLIAMS AND JENNIFER SAUNDERS
An American family come to stay at Blandings, but Freddie’s attempts to sell them dog-food causes major embarrassment.
Connie is desperate to make a good impression on her visiting old school nemesis, Veronica, and her rich American husband, Mr Schoonmaker.
She enlists the services of snobbish secretary Mr Baxter to tidy up Blandings, in particular Clarence, who is liberally spreading manure on his roses and causing a stink.
Meanwhile, Freddie has fallen madly in love with dog-lover Pandora and attempts to impress her by becoming a dog-food salesman, much to his Aunt Connie’s embarrassment.
‘Sublime comic genius’
Ben Elton
‘You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.’
Stephen Fry
‘The funniest writer ever to put words to paper.’
Hugh Laurie
‘P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection.’
Julian Fellowes
