Anyone watched this? It's pretty good and quite funny. The father sounds just like a Harry Enfield character and the amount of swearing in it puts Gordon Ramsay to shame. :D

Series following the eccentric and aristocratic Fulford family. Edmund falls foul of a hole in the wall and the family clash as Arthur seeks ideas on ways to raise cash.

I've been watching this, it's actually quite entertaining.

I've always appreciated the landed gentry, they give this country a lot of character that almost all other countries don't have.

As landowners they can be quite good, if you've worked a farm on their land for generations you'll have a relationship with them and it's in their interest to see you prosper so they're unlikely to oppress. They maintain their country houses at great expense that otherwise the general public would have to pay for.

They may be nuts and their lifestyle can be completely removed from the "man on the street" but I really don't understand the hatred they get from some parts of society.
 
I watched the first episode expecting to be exasperated after 10 mins, but I actually found them impossible not to like.

Reminds me of JP from fresh meat.
