Blandings is an adaptation of the comic works of P G Wodehouse. I have not read the books so will make no comparison to them. At a glance you have good cast with Jennifer Saunders, Mark Williams, Timothy Spall, David Walliams, Robert Bathurst.
However the first series was so uneven and below par that it was a miracle that a second series appeared and that was no better and might had been worse.
Anyhow Spall plays a buffoon like Lord of the castle with a fondness for The Empress his prize porker. Saunders is his overbearing sister, Jack Farthing plays his empty headed son who keeps crashing his car on the same spot with a fondness for the night club called The Pink Pussy.
The series actually varied from dull to atrocious. There was little that was funny, humorous but plenty that was execrating. I quickly tired of Freddy crashing the car in the same spot and sometimes the guest actors did not seem to pitch the performance right. In fact the humour was rather off target.
