I'm about to watch the first ever episode of Land of Hope and Gloria, a sitcom I vaguely recall from the early 1990s. It stars Sheila Ferguson as an American who takes control of a stately home and comes into conflict with the stuffiness of the Brits - with hilarious consequences.

It has a reputation for being rubbish.

Apparently, it was made in 1990 but sat on a shelf for two years before being unleashed upon the public.
