To The Manor Born

Remember to leave your green wellies at the front door!

Gentle comedy in which well-bred countrywoman Audrey Forbes-Hamilton (Penelope Keith) enjoys a prickly romance with the nouveau riche businessman Richard De Vere (Peter Bowles) who has bought her stately former home.

The three series shown between 1979 and 1981 made a catch phrase of Audrey's use of the term 'Noblesse Oblige'.
