Kingdom

In his first drama for ITV since Jeeves and Wooster in the 90s, Stephen Fry plays Peter Kingdom, a village solicitor who lives in a picturesque listed house in Norfolk and drives an Alvis.

Looking after the sometimes bizarre legal needs of the locals, he is helped by a devoted secretary (Celia Imrie) and an articling junior (Karl Davies). His needy sister (Hermione Norris) lives with him, and his elderly aunt (Phyllida Law) lives nearby.

To top it all, his brother Simon is missing and presumed dead, drowned in the North Sea.
