The Secretary Bird

The Secretary Bird is one of the best examples of British comedy. When writer Hugh Walford finds that his wife, Liz, is about to leave him for another man, he takes the unusual step of inviting his rival to stay with them for the weekend, with uproarious consequences. 

Hugh’s battle to keep his wife, fought out in a deceptively urbane and good humoured atmosphere, is in fact a skillful and ruthless campaign planned right down to the last detail. He is indeed the ‘puppet-master’ and all of the other characters dance at his bidding.
