Enraged at Lady Maud's treatment of him, Dundridge approves the motorway going through Handyman Hall and the surrounding Clene Gorge. Lady Maud suspects that, as he and not she will receive the compensation money, Sir Giles is in favour of this and finding the compromising photographs of Dundridge confirms her suspicion. She decides to open a safari park with an electric fence to keep people out and also, using Blott's talent for mimicry, persuades Giles' broker to sell all his shares. She then tracks down Mrs Forthby, with whose help she gets Blott to photograph one of Sir Giles' S&M sessions, threatening to publish the evidence unless he signs a divorce settlement agreeing to the motorway being diverted elsewhere. She feels triumphant but, on returning home, hears blasting in the gorge.

Synopsis

A thwarted Lady Maud runs off to her solicitor to start divorce proceedings and that gives Sir Giles his bright idea-why not run the proposed bypass for the area through their very own Cleene Gorge, thereby wrecking Lady Maud's ancestral home and copping rather a lot of compensation from the government to boot? Witness the frolics of the bumbling dundridge - the Y-front clad man from the ministry, Sir Giles' versatile Mrs Forthby - Mediterranean harlot and naughty schoolgirl extraordinaire, not forgetting Blott himself, gardener and mystery man, casting his enigmatic eye over the eccentricities of the great British aristocracy... Starring, George Cole, Geraldine James, David Suchet, Simon Cadell and Julia McKenzie
