Part 5 of 6 of the classic TV comedy farce. In this episode, Lady Maud is outraged at the blowing up of the Gorge in the government's bid to build a motorway through her home and decides to make her home a fortress, shipping in a number of zoo animals to keep out the workmen. She tries to show Dundridge the compromising photos to expose Sir Giles, but Dundridge refuses to listen. Meanwhile, Sir Giles - now an outcast - plots to get rid of the house once and for all, and in a chaotic night in the town Blott decides to hinder the motorway project by befriending and getting drunk the workmen. It goes rather TOO well...
Starring George Cole, Geraldine James, Simon Cadell, David Suchet, Julia McKenzie, Paul Brooke, Geoffrey Bayldon and Mary Healey. And keep your eyes peeled for Jimmy Nail, straight from his stint off Auf Wiedersehen Pet, as one of the workmen.
