The team are making an audio tour they hope will bring visitors flocking.

But they can't agree on who will star in the recording?

Tom has a bigger problem when he accidentally breaks the most valuable artefact in the museum.

Starring Simon Callow, Miles Jupp and Jane Horrocks.

Comedy about the inept staff at a historic house.

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.

Tom Collyer tries and fails to get the museum back on track, alongside the hopelessly out of touch deputy Julian, corner-cutting gift shop manager Maureen, put-upon education officer Emma, and enthusiastic but dim-witted caretaker Alan.

Written by Ben Cottam and Paul McKenna.
