Community Spirit - S1.E6

Laurence and Jackie left London five months ago but have almost been too busy to step outside their manorial gates since.

But if Laurence wants to be part of village life he needs to pull his frilly-cuffed finger out! His first venture is organising the raffle for the local fete. Not only does Laurence blag prizes from his celebrity mates, he’s also raffling himself and Jackie by offering a special dinner in the winner’s own home with Laurence as butler and Jackie as chef.

The charm offensive takes a step back when Jackie’s gardener Beth lights a smoky bonfire and Jackie turns the air blue! And the hairdresser in Cirencester gets knocked off their Christmas card list when Laurence goes for a trim and gets his famous locks lopped off into a mullet.

A big push into the community sees Jackie giving the prizes at the WI and Laurence cleaning the church. The Llewelyn-Bowen’s are finally on the village map!

The builders have their own big push trying to finish in time for the carpet fitters, if only the alarm didn’t keep going off, if only Laurence wouldn’t keep giving them more to do and if only the family wasn’t trying to live there!
