Episode 6 of 6

Peter has agreed to the house being used for a period drama, but will someone let the side down? Stars Simon Callow. From 2016.

The museum team are startled to hear that Peter has agreed to Plum House being used as a location in a period TV drama.

And not just any period drama, but Buttermere Hall - the Cumbrian Poldark, the Lake District Downton Abbey - which just happens to be Maureen and Emma's favourite Sunday night series.

It could be a massive publicity coup for Plum House, but with Peter dreaming of a starring role, Maureen insisting on catering for the crew, Alan fretting about his broken spade and Emma desperate to meet leading man Christopher Tennyson, will the team end up blowing it?

Starring Simon Callow 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?
