A young woman, Vanessa Ratcliffe, gets pregnant and refuses to reveal the man who impregnated her. A working-class man, Angus Cotton, gets the blame. Vanessa runs away from her loveless, palatial home to avoid getting an abortion. Angus takes pity on her, lets her stay at his place, and marries her; even with the expressed disapproval of his mother and sister. Angus, meanwhile, quits working for others and starts his own business as a way to prove himself against the upper-crust of his town.
It was okay. It has Emilia Fox and Ben Miles and I'm a fan of both. The ending was a bit weak and most of the characters, especially of the Ratcliffe family, were one-dimensional, caricature-like.
