The new deputy museum curator gets a shock. Reginald Perrin writer David Nobbs's sitcom with Julian Rhind-Tutt. From 2007.

Rod Millet has always dreamed of working at the Maltby Collection.

But when he’s appointed deputy curator of painting and sculpture, it quickly becomes clear that the son of a self-made biscuit mogul isn't going to fit into the musty and insular world of London antiquities...

Starring Geoffrey Palmer and Julian Rhind-Tutt.
