Synopsis
PASS THE BUTLER is a British drawing room satire, wrapped in a slapstick murder mystery inside a soap opera parody. Sir Robert Charles is the UK’s Minister of Defense and next in line to be Prime Minister. Unfortunately, he’s all but dead, following a massive heart attack and surviving only on life-support machines. Lady Charles wants to put him out of his misery—not to mention save on the ghastly electric bill, which is already overdue. She plans a “switching off ceremony” only for Sir Charles
