Kingdom: Season 2

Stephen Fry is left holding the baby in the second series of the UK ratings winning drama, Kingdom.

The affable, Norfolk country solicitor Peter Kingdom (Fry) is up to his neck in feeding times and changing nappies. Baby Daniel, the son of Peters missing brother Simon, has moved in accompanied by his mother Honor. However, the household is thrown into further disarray with the unexpected reappearance of the errant Simon.

Also complicating Peters life are his troublesome sister Beatrice (Hermione Norris), his dotty Aunt Auriel (Phyllida Law) and the cantankerous villager Sidney Snell (Tony Slattery). Thank goodness for his faithful receptionist and confidante Gloria Millington (Celia Imrie). Meanwhile, trainee lawyer Lyle (Karl Davies) goes beyond the call of duty and strips off to solve the problems of a bunch of nudists.

Peter and the inhabitants of sleepy Market Shipborough are joined in six delightful epsiodes by a host of prestigious guest stars including Richard Wilson (The Adventures of Merlin), Lucy Benjamin (East Enders), Richard Briers (The Good Life), John Thomson (Blackpool) and Diana Quick (New Tricks).
