Sir Bernard's Stately HomesFirst Aired in 1999 Actor Sir Bernard Chumley is presenting a TV documentary series examining the history of stately homes. The shows are sponsored by Allen's Crisps, and, as a promotional stunt, they have hidden a 'golden potato' at one of the homes. Whoever finds it can claim free crisps for a year. At the first house on the tour, Sir Bernard meets criminal misfit Anthony Rodgers and they decide to unite, find the potato and start a new life. This was another quirky oddity from Lucas and Walliams, and though it didn't quite hit the target it carried their trademark stamp of originality. The pair's satirical stabs at authority and celebrity carry sting because they seem to be delivered completely without affection. Chumley, a parody of elder statesman actors, is portrayed mercilessly as a racist, greedy, pig-ignorant, snobbish bore, and he is the most likeable of the creations on view. Harsh perhaps, but at least some people are prepared to offer an antidote to the hypocritical sycophancy on view in most other areas of TV presentation.
