Synopsis
The dysfunctional life of a compassionate solicitor

Stephen Fry stars as Peter Kingdom, a compassionate solicitor whose life is overshadowed by the mysterious disappearance of his brother. Set in Market Shipborough, in the beauty of the Norfolk landscape, the drama focuses on Kingdom’s dysfunctional family, the people he works with and the town’s residents.

The first episode reveals that he vanished at sea nine months previously and that everybody who knew him (including Peter) assumed that he committed suicide. Each week there are further indications that he did not die, culminating in episode six when it is revealed that he had a relationship with a woman, and that she had become pregnant with his child after he had supposedly died. In the first series we are also introduced to Peter's half-sister, Beatrice, who slowly becomes an integral character in the series. Starring:
