Synopsis:

The BAFTA and British Comedy Award winning Hunderby returns with a two part special brimming with the dark and absurd humour that has become Julia Davis' trademark. Dorothy, the twisted housekeeper of Hunderby, has her sights firmly set on becoming wife to its master and Lady of the Manor. But Brother Edmund's appetites lay elsewhere, and when he is further encouraged to stray, by the return of the toffee brown Brother Joseph fresh from his tropical travels, Dorothy must invent myriad ways to snare her man. Having been told they are brother and sister, Crippled Hesther and the dashing Doctor Foggerty lead separate but entwined lives: Hesther languishing in a grim hovel within the Hunderby grounds, whilst the Doctor abides in the grand house…close to his beloved Helene. When puritanical Pastor John arrives to tend Edmund's wayward flock, he means to punish each and every sinner - but not before he has secured a wife.

Set in the 1830s, this black comedy centers on Helene, a woman who is washed ashore after her ship is wrecked off the English coast. There, she is courted by Edmund, a local pastor, and they soon get married under the understanding that Helene is still pure. However, she has a dark past that she must hide from him. When Helene moves into Edmund's home, she falls under the watchful eye of housekeeper Dorothy, who is more than a little involved in her master's life and quite obsessed with his dead first wife, Arabelle, to whom, in her opinion, Helene simply does not compare. While Helene battles to keep her past a secret, she must navigate Dorothy's devious scheming, her husband's harsh critique and a potential new love interest in the form of Dr. Foggerty.

Set in the 1830s, this black comedy centers on a woman who is washed ashore after her ship is wrecked off the English coast.
