Synopsis

Lady Slane husband’s death. She has been the dutiful wife of a “great man” in public life, Viceroy of India and a member of the House of Lords. Her children plan to share her care between them much as they divide up the family property but, completely unexpectedly, Lady Slane makes her own choice, proposing to leave fashionable Kensington for a cottage in suburban Hampstead that caught her eye decades earlier, where she will live alone except for her maidservant and please herself — for example allowing her descendants to visit only by appointment. Lady Slane will develop friendships with her aged landlord Mr Bucktrout and his equally aged handyman Mr Gosheron.

Awards: 1986: BAFTA TV: 4 Nominations, including Best Actress (Wendy Hiller)
