Nightmare Cottage
A cottage on the Sizzlinghurst estate is in high demand - but Vera’s not in the mood to make a decision. Stars Miriam Margolyes.
Vera is still very angry with Ginny and Lionel for creating havoc at Sizzlinghurst while she and Henry were in the USA.
Henry notices that some of the silver is missing and suspects the Goslings.
Nutwood Cottage, a pretty cottage on the estate. has become vacant and everyone wants it - the Goslings especially and, in a surprise reappearance, Venus whose excuse is that it would be the perfect location for her to nurse her husband in his “last weeks of life”.
Meanwhile Ginny is desperate to get back into Vera’s good books and she and Lionel visit Scratchey and Barrington to house hunt for a weekend cottage. The hunt proves fruitless but inspires a fabulous idea.
Literary comedy by Sue Limb parodying the Bloomsbury Group.
