Plot

Helen Walker is the no-nonsense 41-year-old head of a building firm. However, her life is turned upside down when she falls in love with Peter Morgan, who is 16 years younger than her. He also falls in love with her and she becomes pregnant. After the two marry, the plot remained largely unresolved as low viewing figures meant a second series was not commissioned and the series was never repeated on any BBC channel.[1]

Cast

Richard E. Grant made his first screen appearance, playing Anton in Episode Six.[2]
