Series 1, Episode 7: A Touch Of Class

Audrey is having money problems, and on her first ever visit to a supermarket, a "Cavendish Foods" store, she gives Polly, the cashier, a cheque she knows will bounce. In an attempt to appear more English, Richard is starring in an advert for "Fontleroy's Old English Tonic" being filmed at the Manor. Audrey is curious to know what is going on and sends Brabinger over to find out; he is then asked to play the butler in the advert. Later, the director Bob Roberts (Blain Fairman) goes to the Lodge to ask to use Audrey's Rolls Royce. She then tells him that the Manor is not Richard's ancestral home, but hers, which makes him worried about what the sponsors will say. A few days later, Audrey arrives at the Manor to take Richard to the Lord Lieutenant's charity gala, and the advert appears on the television, with Audrey not Richard. Guest starring Celia Imrie.
