To The Manor Born - Complete Series Three

To The Manor Born - Complete Series Three

Hot on the heels of her acclaimed success in The Good Life, Penelope Keith undertook a role that would further confirm her place as one of Britain's leading comic actors: that of Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in To The Manor Born.

Series 3 was first broadcast in 1981, along with such challenging issues as the closing of the train station, other people's honey and large modern art sculpture, takes the relationship between businessman Richard De Vere and Audrey to new and unexpected levels. The once-successful businessman suddenly finds that he has everything to lose, and the only thing that might save him is the selling of Grantleigh Manor.

Quite how this new challenge resolves itself kept viewers of the series, when originally broadcast, gripped until the now famous closing episode of this, the final series.
