Synopsis
You would think that as an acclaimed writer and comedian, Martin Plimmer would be well able to run a happy household. But with his French au pair cosily tucked away in his son's bedroom and his 12-year-old daughter believing that "life's a bitch", this is far from the truth. "King of the Castle" is an honest tale of the domestic chaos that filled a year of Plimmer's life. With his marriage, hair and career slowly disintegrating, you can't help but feel his pain. The art of juggling a house full of cats, nannies and stray children along with a collapsing freelance career is hilariously brought to life
