To the Manor Born Series 2

Richard sends Audrey over the edge yet again as he brings in an efficiency expert to try to modernize every aspect of the estate's management, and sending everything and everyone into varying states of chaos.

Audrey gleefully sets up a blind date between Richard and an old school chum of hers who was always dumpy and unattractive, then does everything in her power to prevent it when she finds out that her old friend is now an attactive single woman who she fears might catch Richard's interest.

Audrey agrees to help Richard catalog his antique china collection, then becomes the prime suspect when a valuable piece goes missing.

A wandering itinerant laborer pits Audrey and Richard against each other in a contest to show that each is the most charitable towards him.

Richard upsets Audrey again, this time by proposing to cut down the estate's ancient hedgerows in order to increase the amount of farmable acreage, and Audrey leads a local protest to stop him.

Audrey learns firsthand the horrors of the national healthcare system when she injures her back and her private doctor refuses to treat her due to her unpaid bills, and refers her to the public clinic. Meanwhile, Richard, who's never skied in his life, learns the folly of pretending to the world that he's an expert on skis.
