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: the role of Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in To The Manor Born.
The opening episode finds Audrey mourning the death of her husband, but more importantly mourning his inability to handle his financial affairs. Forced to sell her beloved Grantleigh Manor, she is equally distressed to find it bought by upstart businessman Richard De Vere, a man with no concept of the history or the valued place of the Estate in the community. Audrey must roll her sleeves up. It’s time for the ex-Lady of the Manor to put the new Lord in his place – or vice versa. Let the battle of wits commence!
Now all three series, the Christmas Special and the 25th Wedding Anniversary Special are brought together for the first time in one complete collector’s set. Incomparable riches await, as you are transported To The Manor Born.

It's hilarious and you got the set to me as promised....most efficient!
Product arrived quickly and well-packaged. Contents as described and in good condition.
A dated production, but nevertheless well done, very entertaining and brings back some good memories! Thanks BBC
Everything brilliant! Great product and excellent service. Many thanks to you.
If you're looking for a character based comedy series, where the emphasis is on telling a story where funny things happen along the way as opposed to a string of gags, then this is worth a look. It was a huge hit for BBC1 when first shown around 1979 and time has been kind; the themes are still very current and the production has hardly dated. The characters may be stereotypes, but well researched and believable so they never become caricatures. I'm sure many people will recognise the retired army man, the busybody in the shop, the old farmhand etc. Great fun, all the episodes are included in this boxset and look as though they've been cleaned up / restored. Money well spent.
Excellent gentle humor, much enjoyed
The series is every bit as good as I remember. Love it. Definitely recommended.
