BBC Blandings, PG Wodehouse’s celebrated stories and adapted by Guy Andrews , Timothy Spall, Lord Emsworth

Clarence, Lord Emsworth (Timothy Spall)
Clarence yearns with all his soul to be left in peace. And yet he never can be. If he manages to settle for a moment, his tranquillity is snatched from him immediately by an onslaught of other characters: love-struck nephews; domineering secretaries; miscreant children; grasping villagers; people who require him to go to London; people who insist that he must wear a tie and a hat; cheats, cads, crashers, intellectuals and downright bad eggs. Worst of all is his sister, Connie, of whom he lives in mortal fear.
