Lack of depths and no passion between characters

bent-mathiesen

To the manor born is OK, but hardly worth a second view like other well known sitcoms like "Yes Minister" The manor is big - 1000 acre - and the main character Mr DeVere (Peter Bowels) buy the manor. He have to learn the country life - and the previous owner Audrey fforbes-Hamilton (Penelope Keith) is there all the time to remind him what he do wrong.

Audrey fforbes-Hamilton at the same time have to learn to do shopping in a super-marked, like those selling products from Mr DeVere.

All a promising start - it turns into a slow moving and gently politeness without much depth. I fail to see any passion between the 2 main characters, and only the constant wish "to get them together" from Mr DeVere's mother give us a hint that one day they will get married - not even one kiss just a few longer looks here and there - and a lie from Audrey about buying a ring - to prevent Devere from having to leave the Manor.

There would have been plenty of content to put into it. Too boring for a second view.

score 5/10
