Their hilarious antics in the Grace Brothers' Department Store entertained millions of viewers around the earth. Now five of the original cast members are reunited for a brand new uproarious series which sees them adapting to life in the heart of the English countryside. The lamentable demise of the nonagenarian "Immature" Mr. Grace while scuba diving in the Caribbean with his nubile nurse, Miss Lovelock, has meant the closure of Grace Brothers' store. The remaining staff and fellow beneficiary, Miss Lovelock, discover that the remains of the pension fund is a Tudor Manor House which is being run as a country hotel.

A trip to the 16th-century building confirms their worst fears- they are the only guests and the place is going to rack and ruin. The only staff left are local yokel Farmer Moulterd and his naive but willing young daughter Mavis. Over dinner the former colleagues decide to chip in and brand a go of the establishment where they tin at to the lowest degree live hire free. And and then as the 'city slickers' endeavor to adapt to 'county ways', in that location are a whole host of new and riotous situations alee.
