EPISODE 1 : Chestnut Turkeys (Dindes au Marron)

"The doctor, who despite his own wishes, consults at the Château. Mobile phone buff at the drop of a hat; he has set his heart on a great political career. Will he succeed ? Has he got the means to do it ? He's prepared to do anything to succeed. Doctor Green.

Mistress of the Abbey. Energetic, attractive; she's ending her third widowhood. But is she the phoenix that's rising again from its ashes ? She comes out of those bad times always greater, always more beautiful, more refined, more wealthy... Mrs Peacock.

A born fighter. Master of foundries, expert in nuclear psychology, partisan of strategic expeditions, he has travelled through all the continents and faught the greatest battles - from the fight for his first baby's bottle to his parking place less than 3 minutes ago. Colonel Mustard.

Thirty years in service. The diva of the feather duster, the Maria Callas of the vacuum cleaner, the Calamity Jane of dust. A finincial wizard mixed with an unrivalled cordon bleu chef - with a fillet of brill which reconciles everybody. Mrs White.

Professional archeologist, occasional kleptomaniac (he may have been seen stealing some statuettes), he's a dreamer to the core who reads comic after comic and every day, discovers the pleasures of life... Professor Plum.

Every day, she receives the guests of the Château and organizes their evenings. Every day too, she dreams of her future career as a singer, and she's perfectly made for it : she's young, enterprising, dynamic, and... really shapely... Miss Scarlett."

"Médecin malgré lui, il consulte au Château. Adepte du téléphone sans fil pour un oui ou pour un non, il ambitionne la plus grande carrière politique. Y arrivera-t-il ? En a-t-il les moyens ? Il est prêt à tout pour réussir... Le Docteur Olive.

La maîtresse de l'Abbaye. Courageuse, séduisante, elle achève son troisième veuvage, mais est-elle le Phénix renaissant de ses cendres ? Elle sort de ces épreuves toujours plus grande, toujours plus belle, plus raffinée, plus riche... Madame Pervenche.

C'est un vrai baroudeur. Brute de fonderie, expert en psychologie nucléaire, adepte de la stratégie bourre-pif, il a parcouru tous les continents et livré toutes les plus grandes batailles, depuis la dispute de son premier biberon jusqu'à sa place de stationnement il y a moins de trois minutes. C'est le Colonel Moutarde.

Trente ans d'ancienneté. La diva du plumeau, la Maria Callas de l'aspirateur, la Calamity Jane de la poussière. Une reine de l'intendance ficelée d'un cordon bleu hors pair, avec un filet de barbue qui met tout le monde d'accord. Madame Leblanc.

Archéologue occasionnel, kleptomane occasionnel (on l'aurait vu chauffer quelques statuettes), c'est un rêveur dans l'âme qui parcourt bande dessinée sur bande dessinée et découvre chaque jour tous les plaisirs de la vie. Professeur Violet.

Chaque jour, elle réceptionne et organise les soirées des invités du Château. Chaque jour aussi elle rêve à sa future carrière de chanteuse, et elle a bien raison : elle est jeune, entreprenante, dynamique et... hyper bien balancée... Mademoiselle Rose."
