5.0 out of 5 stars Classic rural comedy drama, 8 May 2003

By	"dazcpaz" - See all my reviews

At the time of writing this, sadly, this classic and popular comedy drama from the 80's is unavailable on DVD. The dramatisation closely follows Tom Sharpe's excellent book. Ignore the fact that local authority planning doesn't work according to he story, as the plot thickens with every scene, and it's so very very amusing. David Suchet excels as Blott, Geraldine James glows as Lady Maud and George Cole makes an adequate Sir Giles and it's amusing to see Julia McKenzie in a catsuit.

It comes as a two part video set, each episode being around 3 hours long. Watch and enjoy the raunchy fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best comedy mini-series, 20 Oct 2002

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Sir Giles Lynchwood, Conservative MP, schemes to have a motorway extend over his houses. His wife with the help of Blott fortifies the gatehouse to repel the construction crew. It is much more complex with subplots. You have to see to believe and them you may not.
Many videos do not live up to the expectations of the book. This one may even surpass the book. All of the characters fit and all the irony hits you in the face. This was my first encounter with David Suchet (Blott). And you will recognize all the other major players including Geraldine James (Lady Maud Lynchwood).

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and unforgettable!, 21 Oct 2001

By A Customer

I haven't actually bought the video yet, but I saw Blott in 1985 and watched the entire series again in 1986 and 1993 when the BBC re-ran it. David Suchet was brilliant as Blott - you could see how he later gained the role of "Poirot" - and Geraldine James a superb Lady Maud. George Cole was spot-on as the ultra-slimy Sir Giles, as was the late Simon Cadell in the part of complete nincompoop Mr Dundridge.

And of course, Julia McKenzie. Mrs Forthby, and all her associated characters, which included "Nanny Whip" among others, were a far cry from her other role of the time, in the Thames TV sitcom "Fresh Fields".

Blott's house (The gatekeeper's lodge) was constructed in Blaise Woods, Bristol in April 1984 and demolished within the storyline.
