The Rather Risky Ramble

Episode 5 of 6

Tom returns from a team building course to find the team have been bickering in his absence. Starring Tom Bell. From 2016.

Tom returns from a team building course in London to find the Plum House team have been bickering in his absence.

So he decides to put what he has learned into action.

Peter has a better idea to restore team spirit and suggests the museum's staff go on a walk through the Cumbrian countryside, known as Pudding's Horseshoe. Hiking boots on, the group set off on their ramble on a beautiful sunny day, full of enthusiasm and Kendal Mint Cake.

What can possibly go wrong?

Starring Simon Callow, Miles Jupp and Jane Horrocks.

Comedy about the inept staff at an historic house written by Ben Cottam and Paul McKenna

Every year thousands of tourists flock to the Lake District. But one place they never go to is Plum House - the former country home of terrible poet George Pudding (1779-1848). Now a crumbling museum, losing money hand over fist, it struggles to stay open under its eccentric curator Peter Knight.

Can anyone save Plum House from irreversible decline?
