Broadbent as The 23rd Earl of Leete, a very British and eccentric landowner, takes us on an intriguing tour of his estate and tells of the progress of over 900 years of family history. A Sense of History has the look and feel of a very real documentary; there is no canned laughter to give us the clue that it might be a spoof. Only as the Earl's revelations unravel do we begin to suspect anything.
