Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Part 4 (of six): Hall boy Kenny and the new scullery maid, Ellen, fall in love, but it's "Tough Love," because romance between servants is forbidden and Sir John, dismayed at recent laxities, wants to "tighten Edwardian standards." But that comes back to haunt him when the chef, M. Dubiard, insists on preparing high-fat dishes common a century ago. And other family members are more unsettled by the Edwardian lifestyle than Sir John (who also concedes that he's putting aside his 21st-century moral code to host hunting parties). Lady Olliff-Cooper is chafing under the "awesome formality" demanded of her, and her sister, Miss Avril, has had enough of it and decides to leave Manderston. Derek Jacobi narrates.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Manor House. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Tough Love is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 4 out of 6, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
