dimity_blueI've just finished watching Blandings, an absolutely hilarious TV series based on the Blandings stories by P.G. Wodehouse.
The sad part is it's only 13 episodes long, which is split into 2 seasons. But what fabulous episodes! It's the 1920s and the Earl of Emsworth (Timothy Spall) seeks a peaceful life which he will spend with his pig, The Empress, and his gardens. Unfortunately, his sister Lady Connie (Jennifer Saunders, wielding a mean eyebrow) insists he rule like an earl, remember his nieces' names, and sometimes even put on a top hat and give a speech.
No matter how many times he hides in the servants' shoe cupboard she keeps on finding him.
To make matters worse, his younger son Freddy keeps on visiting because he's run out of money.
How have I missed seeing this before and why was it cancelled when so many terrible series are still going?
