Welcome to Corduroy Mansions in Pimlico: a temple of Arts & Crafts architecture with comforting weathered brickwork & frankly frivolous dormer windows it is home to a delightfully eccentric cast of Londoners. In the top flat lives William with a faithful ex-vegetarian dog named Freddie de la Hay & a freeloading son who he hopes will soon fly the nest. Four lively young women share the first-floor flat including twinset-&-pearls Caroline from Cheltenham Dee vitamin addict & avid subscriber to Anti-oxidant News & Jenny a put-upon PA. & round the corner lives Oedipus Snark MP possibly the worlds only loathsome Lib Dem who has succeeded in offending everyone he knows & many others besides. But what dark revenge is being plotted by his mother Berthea Snark & by his girlfriend Barbara Ragg...?
