Dorothy Stacpoole, ageing aristocrat and former model, owns a crumbling stately home and is considering her options as how best to preserve the property and its treasury of priceless contents, but without jeopardising her last few remaining years. The National Trust is an obvious strong contender, whereas using the house as a setting for what is, rather more tastefully referred to as 'an adult film', is another. The clash between these two extremes and those of the principal protagonists, is a vehicle for outrageous humour. But, as always with Bennett, there is an underlying theme of humanity which makes the shock of what the audience sees not merely palatable, but relevant in many ways to modern society, its mores and attitudes.
