Synopsis

“The idea is you soak up the atmosphere of a remote country house in more leisured times. The classic days of the detective novel. The long afternoon of empire. Six pounds thirty eight please. Or will you have it on your bill?”

As the guests assemble at Danesbury Hall for a ‘classic murder weekend’ run by ‘Murder at the Manor’ Limited, it becomes clear that the foggy weather has prevented not only many of the guests arriving, but some of the staff. The staff do their best but, with more revelations ‘off stage’ than on, the murder weekend seems set to end in hilarious disaster
