The teacups of Tilling rattle once again as Mapp and Lucia continue their elegantly bitter rivalry for social advantage. On battlegrounds such as politics, weddings, finances and art, the adversaries clash in a contest of wits rich with intrigue, scandal and hilarity.

Adapted from E.F. Benson's delightful stories set in provincial England of the 1920s, the series stars Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers), Geraldine McEwan (Barchester Chronicles), and Nigel Hawthorne (The Madness of King George).
