An unexpected bus ride gives Jeff a trip down memory lane, teaching Andy what oubliette means. Stars Philip Jackson. From 2020.
Nothing could be more relaxing than a visit to a historical stately home - but this is Flamford.
Andy starts the day with a rather alarming haircut and it’s downhill from there on.
Jeff drags Andy on a quest to local heritage site, Yatterby Hall, where he hopes to snag the autograph of his hero, Sir Trevor McDonald. On the way, they meet disgruntled and vengeful Big Blue Bus guide Glenn, disgruntled and despondent primary school teacher Brendan Liversedge and several disgruntled and thin-skinned costumed museum guides.
Lording it over them all (quite literally) is Lord Yatterby, Johnny Hussey-Gore-Marshbanks, his conversationally-challenged wife Francesca, his scheming dowager mother and Alfred, his junkie son.
