She’s given to moaning about Italian beef’s inability to make good dripping and the waxiness of the local potatoes. It was all a bit panto – they might as well have had pencil-thin moustaches and Dick Dastardly laughs. But Lucian had thrown his net far and wide – the family’s nanny Constance (Louisa Binder) inevitably catching his eye. Instead, the writers went to the effort of naming her Betty. Needless to say, a second series has already been commissioned and filmed.
