Penelope Keith and Peter Bowles reunite as the aristocratic Audrey fforbes-Hamilton and the dashing, self-made businessman Richard DeVere, as the classic British comedy To The Manor Born returns for a one-off special. Viewers last saw Audrey and Richard in 1981, when the couple finally married following a turbulent relationship conducted over three much-loved and high-rating series.

A quarter of a century on, a major event threatens to disturb life at the estate in Grantleigh as the couple prepare to celebrate their Silver Wedding Anniversary. With the help of her schoolfriend, Marjory, a fearless Audrey goes into battle to defend a community, safeguard 400 years of history and save her marriage.

Penelope Keith stars as Audrey, Peter Bowles as Richard and Angela Thorne as Marjory.
