Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Series

The date: 1930 The place: Middle England The situation: Handbags at Dawn Scratch the thin veneer of manners and etiquette that cover dreadful snobs Miss Emmeline Lucas or Miss Elizabeth Mapp and you will discover a relentless driving ambition fueled entirely by malice. Cut from exactly the same cloth, their consistent striving for oneupmanship, social supremacy and the accolade of being regarded as the ‘toast of the town’ is only barely held in check by the necessity to observe the social niceties of the day... BAFTA-nominated, MAPP & LUCIA stars GERALDINE McEWAN, PRUNELLA SCALES, NIGEL HAWTHORNE and DENIS LILL and is adapted from the ever-popular stories of E.F.BENSON.
