Season 2 Synopsis
Stephen Fry is left holding the baby in the new season of Kingdom. Fry plays affable country solicitor Peter Kingdom, whose compassion and humility have won him huge respect in the small Norfolk town of Market Shipborough.
At the end of the first season, Stephen’s character was told he was to be an uncle by a woman who arrived out of the blue.
Peter finds himself having to learn all about feeding times and changing nappies when baby Daniel, the son of Peter’s missing brother Simon, moves in.
But there’s an even bigger shock in store for Peter and his troublesome sister Beatrice, played by Hermione Norris.
Karl Davies returns as sharp trainee solicitor, Lyle Anderson, who goes beyond the call of duty, and strips off to solve the problems of a bunch of nudists.
Celia Imrie stars as Gloria Millington, the faithful receptionist. Phyllida Law plays Peter’s dotty Aunt Auriel, and Tony Slattery plays cantankerous villager Sidney Snell.
A host of prestigious guest stars join the cast for the new season, including Richard Wilson, Lucy Benjamin, Richard Briers, John Thomson, and Diana Quick.
