Harry Enfield

I was rather lukewarm towards the first series of Blandings, based on the books by PG Wodehouse. However, series two got off to a cracking start thanks, in no small part, to the contribution of Harry Enfield. Enfield, a man not known to underplay at the best of times, left no scenery unchewed as the apoplectically lunatic Duke of Dunstable, the most obnoxious man in the country.

Blandings, TV review

Blandings is a lot of fun. Harry Enfield doing his Cholmondley-Warner on steroids was just one of the several guest stars we're promised.

Radio Times review

The first series of these adaptations of PG Wodehouse stories came in for a good kicking from some quarters, which seemed out of proportion considering they were enjoyable bits of candy floss and hardly Broadchurch. But viewers liked them, so here's a second helping, with Timothy Spall once again starring as pin-brained, pig-obsessed toff Lord Emsworth and Jennifer Saunders as his battleaxe of a sister, Connie.

Tim Vine, much missed after his departure from Not Going Out, takes over from Mark Williams as Beach, the clever butler. Harry Enfield guests in the first episode as the claret-nosed Duke of Dunstable, an appalling old buffer with an inexplicable antipathy towards whistling Scotsmen.

Blandings, series 2, episode 1 review

Harry Enfield was deliciously obnoxious as Dunstable. Throwing tantrums, eggs and insults ("Stop that whistling you disgusting Scotch peasant!") with red-faced regularity, his slapstick was so effective it was like he'd taken the pressure off the rest of the cast to make fools of themselves.

It all works very nicely and while it will do Jack Whitehall's career no harm whatsoever it will also probably work wonders for his father, much in the same way that Harry Enfield's father Edward build up quite a head of steam out of being an irascible old arse when Harry Enfield made it big.
