This is a great collection of episodes from the second series. Penelope Keith plays her part beautifully as a woman of high class - a part to which she has become something of a stereotype. Not as good at the first series but definatly worth a look if your a fan of the series as i have noticed that their are odd additional scenes slipped in that were not shown on the TV...

This has to be my favourite comedy program ever. I only saw one episode before I decided to buy the DVDs and they've definitely lived up to my expectations. The humour is excellent and the characters realistic. The storyline centres around Audrey fforbes-Hamilton (Penelope Keith) who is forced to sell her beloved family estate after the death of her husband. To her horror it is bought by Richard DeVere (Peter Bowles) who, although terribly charming and handsome (not that she ever admits this), is head of a chain of supermarkets and even worse isn't English. That's all I'm saying but you can probably guess where it's going! Add Audrey's friend Margery Frobisher (Angela Thorne), Richard's mother Mrs Polouvicka (Daphne Heard) and Audrey's butler Brabinger (John Rudling) besides others and you have a hilarious comedy.

This DVD contains the entire second series and a special. Although each episode is self-contained there is a general storyline that streches over the whole three series, so if you're new to the program it's probably better to buy series 1 first. You couldn't have a better "Chapter 2" than this DVD though!

All in all it's worth more than 5 stars really! It might seem a little expensive but in my opinion worth every penny.
