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.
