The Prince of Denmark

1974•30m

Ronnie and Laura Corbett have embarked on a new future - this time in the company of the Prince of Denmark, a public house that she has inherited. Ronnie's initially rather put out by Laura's being technically in charge; something which the brewery's delivery men are swift to pick up on! Her prior experience working behind a bar soon begins to rub off, but it's a slow learning curve for the diminutive busybody as he attempts to keep his pride in tact, his eye over everything, and his hand firmly on the tiller.
