It takes place in the palatial new jersey country mansion (yes, new jersey has palatial country mansions) owned by haughty heiress madeleine van norman, nicknamed magnificent madeleine on account of her haughty ways. Its castle manages a similar leap in time, visibly norman in shape, but mighty enough still for its observatory tower to be used as a lookout point in the forties.
The story of the rusape cesspit saga recalled a series of escapades of the 1940s, in which i played a unforgivable part.

Eric idle said he was very saddened to hear of the loss of his old friend. I'm very saddened to hear of the loss of our old friend and fellow pembroke alum tim brooke-taylor. He and bill oddie auditioned me for the pembroke smoker in 1963, starting my career. I always thought him a wonderful man, funny, kind and generous.
