Not quite sure why this was not well received. This is one of the best comedies to come out of the UK. Both Jennifer Saunders as the Comptess and Dawn French as her slutty maid are in their element and the other series regulars like Alison Steadman as Jennifer's nemesis, Lucy Punch as Alison's not so virginal daughter and Adrian Scarborough as Bouffant, Jennifer's queeny hair and wardrobe employee are fantastic as the supporting cast. Not quite sure why only one series was made. The comedy is very similar to what Jennifer Saunders has done in Absolutely Fabulous with play on words rather than physical comedy, although there is still a smattering of the latter as well. A lot of sexual innuendos which to me are hysterical. I do hope they will come back for another bunch of episodes. Anyone who has seen Dangerous Liasons and wants to have a laugh about the French Court should try and get a hold of this series.
