《极品基老伴》主演雅各比爵士昨天在BAFTA典礼上无意透露了该剧续订第2季的消息。搞笑的是他接受采访的腔调居然延续了剧中角色的风格:“他(麦克莱恩)跑去拍电影了啦,现在没空——让上帝诅咒他!直到明年5月我们才会再这么来一次。”《基老伴》在ITV台播出后大受好评,刚提前完成今年圣诞集的拍摄。Violet confides in Freddie and Stuart that she believes her husband, Jasper, has abandoned her, she not having seen him in a few weeks since they returned from their honeymoon. What's worse is that Violet's somewhat estranged sister, Lillian Haverfield-Wickham, about who Violet has previously not told anyone and who Violet has not seen in years, is coming for a visit. As Lillian has always gloated that she married into money and thus has had a wonderful life, Violet, to even the balance of power in their relationship, told her that Jasper is also from money, and that they live in a lavish flat with servants. To help Violet on both fronts, Freddie and Stuart devise a plan, which also requires Penelope's help, to impersonate Jasper and the servants, using their own much nicer and well-appointed flat as Violet and Jasper's. Playing against type as Freddie treats Stuart as a servant in their day-to-day lives, flamboyant Stuart takes the role of butch straight Jasper, while domineering Freddie takes the role of Freddie the butler. Pulling off the scheme gets even more complicated when Ash drops by unexpectedly with his new serious girlfriend, Jess - not "Jessica" - as Ash is trying to impress her with the people closest to him in his life, they who he described to her as "authentic".
