This well remembered 6 part BAFTA winning drama (on two discs) from 1987 stars the always smooth Nigel Havers, here playing very much to his persona as born to be a cad Ralph (Rafe) Ernest Gorse.
It's the late 1930's and Rafe is busy working his way into the heart of the wealthy and much older Joan Plumleigh-Bruce (Rosemary Leach), he's only interested in what he can get out of her (namely money of course), his real target is the very sexy Clarice Manners (Fiona Fullarton looking never better than here) she is from a well to do family and Rafe knows that unless he has cash he can never persuade her to be with him; Joan doesn't know any of this of course and is more than delighted to have a young suitor paying her attention. Joan's bank manager Donald Stimpson (the excellent Bernard Hepton) also has designs on her and is more than put out when Joan goes 'the whole hog' with Gorse. When Rafe then does a runner taking much of Joan's money with him Stimpson is determined to track him down and get revenge.
