Lord Rustless has appeared to fall on hard times, and had to turn Chrome Hall into a Hotel, he runs it, along with his staff, Dithers, Mildred and Badger.
I'll be honest, I had no idea that this show existed, until I read some of Barker's material, and the scripts for this show, it had the potential to be very funny.
How sad that only one episode is known to exist, of course it would be magical if more appeared, and who knows.
It's a little cheeky, basing a review from this on only one episode, but I think we can see clearly that this was no Fawlty Towers. Some amusing moments, possibly a little surreal at times.
We have definitely seen Lord Rustless before, one of the more memorable characters from Hark at Barker, beautifully performed by Barker, as would be expected.
Quality cast, Barker is fantastic, Tewson and Jason are very funny too, even though Dithers is a little too over the top, you'll instantly think of Porridge.
Hopefully a news flash will appear one day, eating that the whole lot have been found.
6/10.
