Finding comedy and love in the Big House
WE CAN’T seem to get enough of period drama, high life above and below stairs in another era — witness the popularity of Downton Abbey, for example. What we haven’t had for a long time is drama that focuses on the Irish country life of yesteryear.
It’s been too long since Somerville & Ross, since we celebrated the wonderfully crazy and captivating characters to be found in those crumbling Big Houses dotted around our rain-drenched landscape.
