Miss Pettigrew is sent by her agency on a wrong booking.

Her employer greets her wearing a negligee with a man in her room. In the face of such shocking behaviour, will the innocent spinster blunder or blossom?

Maureen Lipman reads one of her favourite books: Winifred Watson's touching and funny rediscovered bestseller from the 1930s.

Abridged in five-parts by Elizabeth Bradbury.
