Episode 3 of 6

When a mysterious visitor arrives, the team suspect he’s been sent by the Trust to spy on them. Stars Kevin Eldon. From 2016.

A mysterious visitor arrives.

Being visited is an unusual event in itself, but when he shows genuine interest in how the place is run our team immediately suspect he has been sent from the Trust to spy on them.

Why else would a man, on his own, turn up at a museum unannounced?

Starring Simon Callow and Jane Horrocks.

Comedy about the inept staff at an historic house written by Ben Cottam and Paul McKenna

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.

Can anyone save Plum House from irreversible decline?
