"A load of old tripe"
The title of this review is a line from the series uttered by Jeff rawle's character, 'Bluey', the Duke of Stilton.
It pretty much sums up this series, as it was, in fact, tripe.
It's a shame, really, as we were looking forward to this, but suffered through about 25 minutes of this garbage before switching off.
Aside from the appalling American accents, the main protagonists were painfully bad and the whole thing played to the US myth that all Brits live in stately homes (or Romany Gypsy caravans?!). Some of the better-known cast members (Hadyn Gwynne, Jeff Rawle, Anthony Head & Jonty Stephens) should have known better and avoided this travesty. And it's for them that I gave it three stars. All of the cast below 30 need acting lessons.
