About this show

The social rivalries of a small English town and a host of unforgettable characters are brought beautifully and hilariously to life in this adaptation of author EF Bensons's much loved 1930s tales. This bitingly funny comic drama celebrates and lampoons the snobberies and pretensions of small-town life and stars an acclaimed ensemble cast, led by Miranda Richardson and Anna Chancellor in the iconic title roles. Over the course of a summer, the sly, scheming Miss Elizabeth Mapp and the gloriously haughty Mrs Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas jockey for social supremacy in the charming historic town of Tilling. As Mapp and Lucia go into battle - albeit an impeccably polite one! - their fellow residents are subjected to a dizzying round of rival musical evenings, artistic one-upmanship, competitive charity events and tense afternoon teas to see where their loyalties lie. So who will triumph in this well-mannered fight to be Tilling's finest?

I absolutely adored this broadcast of a popular British TV Show! I am such a fan of Mapp & Lucia from the time when it first came out with entirely different actors and actresses My only wish would be that more and more of the show could be re-dramatized (with these new actors) so that what one really likes about Mapp & Lucia can permeate throughout my life! I really like the way the inhabitants of Tilling are so polite and welcome their lodgers with pride and dignity. I am half-British myself, and I can totally appreciate the goings on in this special liitle town....forever. Please let Steve Pemberton know that his work is appreciated, however, he has way more to go before our beloved show-girls are at their most potent and best with this script! Regards, F. Hope Allen
