Press clippings

Fallen Arches is familiar stuff, too: a spoof of the Dickensian family drama, complete with dotty old butler and lusty young gardener, as well as those laboured whimsical puns like the series title, which is - guess what - the name of the lordly family seat. Dotty butlers are a bulwark of comedy; in comparison, sane butlers are a rarity.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 20th February 1988
