A Perfect State was a 1997 British situation comedy starring Gwen Taylor, Richard Hope, Trevor Cooper, Emma Amos and Danny Webb. It debuted on BBC1 on Thursday 27 February 1997 and ran for seven episodes.
Taylor took the leading role of Laura Fitzgerald, the Deputy Mayor of Flatby, a town on the East Coast of England. As the series begins, she is informed that because Flatby was never surveyed for the Domesday Book, it has never officially been annexed into the United Kingdom. As a result, and much to the chagrin of the Government in London, Laura rallies the townsfolk to declare Flatby an independent state.
Most of the filming was carried out in Wivenhoe in Essex.
Seasons
Season 1
The European fishing policy is causing outrage in Flatby-on-the-Bog. When deputy mayor Laura Fitzgerald discovers
that, owing to the occasional submergence of the Flatby peninsula, Flatby has never been formally ratified as part of
the British mainland, she sets out to convince her fellow councillors to declare the town an independent state.
