Drama
This British series, based on books by John Mortimer, follows the rise of Leslie Titmuss from humble beginnings in the 1950s to Tory cabinet minister in the 1980s. The rise of the slippery Titmuss is contrasted with the more modest progress of his neighbours, the intellectual Simcoxes and the aristocratic Fanners. Made by Eustom Films, a subsidiary of Thames Television for the ITV Network.
Seasons
Season 1
From the time Leslie Titmuss was a young boy, Reverend Simcox encouraged his endeavors. Now an accounts clerk at the Simcox brewery, Titmuss shows every sign of being on the way up. The same can't be said of the rector's sons, Henry and Fred, who appear to be on a downward track.
Season 2
The Right Honourable Leslie Titmuss (who is now Secretary of State for Housing, Ecological Affairs and Planning) sets his cap at the beautiful widow Jenny Sidonia. Meanwhile, secret plans are being made which will change the Rapstone valley for ever.
