When disgraced poet Ted Wallace is summoned to his friend's Norfolk manor to investigate a series of unexplained miracles, he becomes entwined with the backstories of his fellow guests as he attempts to solve the mysteries.

Based on Stephen Fry's 1994 debut novel of the same name and directed by John Jencks, this should be an intriguing adaptation with a good helping of wry humour.
