Mapp and Lucia is a British drama television series that was first broadcast on BBC One from 29 to 31 December 2014. The three-part series, adapted by Steve Pemberton and directed by Diarmuid Lawrence, is based on E. F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia collection of novels. The series features an ensemble cast', with British actresses Miranda Richardson and Anna Chancellor playing the eponymous characters Elizabeth Mapp and Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas. It is set in the Sussex coastal town of Tilling, based very closely on Rye, East Sussex, where it was filmed and where Benson lived. Although attracting modest viewing figures, the series received positive reviews from critics.
Pemberton confirmed on The Paul O'Grady Show that the series will not be returning.
Mapp and Lucia was commissioned by Charlotte Moore and Ben Stephenson for BBC One. Filming took place in and around Rye during the summer of 2014 as well as Kent and East Sussex Railway Station in Tenterden.
