comment
To the Manor Born was a Brit Com created and written by Peter Spence that ran for three series from 1979-81 and a Christmas special in 2007. Upper-Class Twit Audrey fforbes-Hamilton (Penelope Keith) is forced to sell Grantleigh Manor, the Big Fancy House which has been in her family for countless generations. To her horror, the historic estate is bought by Richard DeVere (Peter Bowles), a Nouveau Riche supermarket magnate. To make sure he doesn't make a mess of things, she moves into a lodge in the front yard.As the series went on, Audrey became a Defrosting Ice Queen and developed a Slap-Slap-Kiss relationship with Richard. They had a Last-Minute Hookup in the Grand Finale. A one-off revival episode was aired in 2007.Came twenty-first in Britains Best Sitcom.

Read the Fine Print

comment
Read the Fine Print: In one episode, Audrey is campaigning against the closure of the local railway station, and quotes a provision in the Act of Parliament establishing the line that it can't be closed without the approval of the Lord of the Manor — who is, currently, Richard. Richard (who secretly wants the station closed, so he can buy the site for a grocery store) takes the trouble to check the actual wording of the Act, and discovers that the provision does exist, but expires so soon that he'd only be able to delay the closure by a few days. (In the end it becomes academic as the rail line is kept in operation to serve a new school for the area.)

The Tramp: Mr Smith, who comes to Grantleigh every year. His episode features him successfully begging money from Richard, then claiming to Audrey that Richard turned him away, doubling his take. The other estate owners mention doing the same.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Alhough this is a Justified Trope, as Richard is Eastern European and his real name is Bedrich Polouvicek. He came to Britain as a child in 1939 so has had plenty of time to cultivate an English accent - possibly on purpose, given his rebranding himself with an English identity.

Fish out of Water: In addition to doing without the luxuries of living in the manor and following the social set on their routine vacations, Audrey has to contend with more mundane issues, such as shopping at the cash and carry and seeing her doctor as a National Health patient. When Brabinger goes away on sick leave, Ned is brought in to take his place. Being a groundskeeper and not a butler, he's a bit out of his depth.

Well-Intentioned Replacement: In one episode, Richard bought Audrey a new Austin Metro to replace her expensive-to-run 1930s Rolls-Royce when she considered selling the Rolls; she was offended by his thinking she needed charity and couldn't bring herself to sell the old car to a collector since he planned to rebody it. In other episode, Audrey uncovers a well-preserved marble fireplace in the lodge. At the same time, she expresses her outrage at Richard removing the Adam-designed fireplace in Grantleigh (even though she always hated it). Cue Richard replacing the far more beautiful marble fireplace with the comparatively tacky one from Grantleigh. Fortunately his workers only covered it up and it was back to normal in the next episode.

Handmade Is Better: In one episode, Audrey starts selling honey straight from her own hive.

Of course she charges many times what the store does.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign
 To the Manor Born / int_e3c20140
comment
As Long as It Sounds Foreign : Mrs Poo would in reality be unlikely to talk of 'old Czechoslovakia', as, born in 1904, she is 14 years older than Czechoslovakia. Her full name, seen on her headstone in the 2007 special, is undisputably Slavic, so being from Bratislava she would have grown up as a member of the Slav minority in what was a Hungarian city until 1918, when it was incorporated into the new Czechoslovakia much against the will of the majority Hungarian and German population. Mrs Poo would probably say something like "We Slovaks have an old saying".

Fallen Princess: Audrey has to come to terms with the fact that she no longer has the prestige of being the chatelaine of Grantleigh Manor.

Pre-Approved Sermon

comment
Pre-Approved Sermon: In the second episode, the Vicar is looking forward to Audrey moving away, because it means he'll be able to choose what readings and hymns to have without her interference. He doesn't look pleased when he realises that though she's leaving the manor, she's still going to live in the parish.

No Indoor Voice: When a group of soldiers are helping to set up tables for the village fete, they are commanded by a sergeant who relays all Audrey's orders to his men at top volume.

The Grand Hunt: Fox hunting features in several episodes, as Audrey is a member of the local hunt, and Richard joins as it is expected of him as lord of the manor.

Suspiciously Specific Sermon: Not a sermon, exactly, but the reading of the lesson. Audrey arranges for Richard to read Matthew 19 for his first Sunday at church.
