Learning on ScreenKingdom [17/02/2008]
- Synopsis
- Comedy drama series created by Simon Wheeler and starring Stephen Fry as Peter Kingdom, a Norfolk-based solicitor who is coping with family, colleagues, and the locals who come to him for legal assistance. This episode includes brief scenes from a (very bad) amateur production of The Tempest staged in the open air at Aunt Auriel’s rest home. Miranda is played by Karl Davies in drag, Davis (as Miranda) refusing to kiss Ferdinand until Ferdinand puts his teeth in. Malfunctioning water sprinklers and a storm wreak havoc with the production.
