  MR LOVEDAY'S LITTLE OUTING

Somewhere in the Home Counties in the late 1930s, Angela visits her insane father Lord Moping at the County Home for Mental Defectives. There she meets the kindly lunatic Mr Loveday. Charmed by him, she begins a campaign for his release.

Fawlty Towers stars Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs join David Warner and Fenella Woolgar in this darkly comic drama by Evelyn Waugh. The film is an unabridged adaptation, using every word of the original story.
