Stephen Fry returns to our screens for a third series of ITV1’s ratings-winning series, Kingdom.
He is joined by Hermione Norris, Karl Davies, Celia Imrie, Tony Slattery, Phyllida Law, John Thomson and a host of prestigious guest stars, including June Whitfield, Peter Sallis, Sandi Toksvig, Jack Dee, Sophie Winkleman, Anna Massey and Jaye Griffiths.
Shot on location in Norfolk, the six-part drama follows the fortunes of Stephen Fry’s character, Peter Kingdom, an affable country solicitor in the picturesque Norfolk town of Market Shipborough.
Hermione Norris stars as Peter’s troublesome sister Beatrice who wants to rediscover her sexuality after becoming a mum. Karl Davies returns as newly-qualified solicitor, Lyle Anderson, who is keen to make his mark in the practice.
Celia Imrie stars as Gloria Millington, the faithful receptionist and Peter’s confidant, who is having a terrible time with her demanding, elderly father. Phyllida Law plays Peter’s dotty Aunt Auriel, and Tony Slattery plays cantankerous villager, Sidney Snell. John Thomson, a guest star in the last series, returns as a regular cast member.
Life in Market Shipborough is never dull for Peter Kingdom and Lyle Anderson as they seek to resolve the legal issues the locals bring them. In this new series they deal with the problems of crop circles, try to help a war victim’s bid for compensation, and encounter animal liberationists at work.
