Making attempts at the town council, a platonic marriage and even the village cricket club, Lucia employs her most dazzling ingenuity and cunning as the pair battle for control.

Mallards, and install herself as its benevolent dictator. However in Miss Mapp, Lucia meets her match. Using as their deadly weapons garden parties, bridge evenings and charming tea parties, the two combatants strive to out-charm each other and the whole of Tilling society as they vie for the position of doyenne of the town. Things finally come to a head with Miss Mapp’s ordacious attempt to steal her rival’s celebrated Lobster à la Riseholme. Abridged on three CDs. £14.99 NOW £5.50

and an opera singer also staying in ever-quiet Tilling, the village looks set to become a pressure cooker of ladies struggling for ultimate control.
