A thwarted Lady Maud runs off to her solicitor to start divorce proceedings and that gives Sir Giles his bright idea-why not run the proposed bypass for the area through their very own Cleene Gorge, thereby wrecking Lady Maud's ancestral home and copping rather a lot of compensation from the government to boot? Witness the frolics of the bumbling dundridge - the Y-front clad man from the ministry, Sir Giles' versatile Mrs Forthby - Mediterranean harlot and naughty schoolgirl extraordinaire, not forgetting Blott himself, gardener and mystery man, casting his enigmatic eye over the eccentricities of the great British aristocracy... Starring, George Cole, Geraldine James, David Suchet, Simon Cadell and Julia McKenzie
Outraged at the demolition of the gorge, Lady Maud goes to see Dundridge, suggesting that they work together to expose Sir Giles as the blackmailer. However, since Dundridge detests her and believes that she was responsible for compromising him, Dundridge refuses, making it his mission to destroy her home. That night Blott gets one of the workmen extremely drunk and encourages him to cause destruction - and a death - in the village to increase public hostility to the roadworks. Sir Giles, meanwhile, who is living with Mrs Forthby, drugs her and returns to the hall, which he tries to burn down, escaping into the grounds after a fight with his wife.
