When Maud hears of the plan she decides drastic measures are needed to keep the house; enlisting the help of her mysterious groundsman, Blott (David Suchet), her plan is to divorce Lycnhwood and turn Rising Gorge into a safari park, leaving Lycnhwood and the corrupt motorway officials to counter her any way they can.
