Plum HouseSeries 3
Episode 2 of 6

Peter Knight guests on a show to talk about Pudding's ancestors and his eccentricity goes viral. Stars Simon Callow. From 2020.

Plum House's curator Peter Knight finds unlikely TV fame, whilst being featured on an ancestry show helping celebrity guest Derren Brown trace his roots to the museum.

When Peter's most eccentric foibles are broadcast to millions, manager Tom and the team fear a backlash, but instead the audience take Peter to their hearts - his appearance goes viral #SOBRITISH and suddenly Plum House visitor numbers shoot up.

How will the team handle the new business and will Peter be able to keep his head, even if Julian has selflessly put himself forward as his manager?

Comedy about the inept staff at a historic house.

Written by Ben Cottam and Paul McKenna.
