- Why is Hadleigh being followed? And why is his father-in-law, Charlie Caldwell, so anxious to stop him doing a deal with the benign philanthropist Sir Frank Pierce? James isn't the only one with problems, however; his attractive young god-daughter, Joanna, is in love.
In these first couple of episodes at least, there seems to be a definite move away from Melford to business in London.
(Perhaps James got bored with the colour of his white Triumph Stag and had it resprayed brown!)

This episode was the subject of an article "From Script to Screen" in the IBA yearbook "TV & Radio 1976" about the rehearsal, planning and making of a TV drama. Here's a link to the PDF. It starts on page 18.

Here's a flavour:
"...The rehearsals took place
during the sweltering June heat of last
year in a hall behind a filling station
on the Brixton Road, London; a scene
far removed from the image of the
country gentleman's residence some-
where in the open countryside of the
Yorkshire Dales. No Rolls-Royce
glamour here as the director, star and
cast alike make and drink their own
coffee from cracked mugs surrounded
by half-empty sugar bags, milk bottles,
stained teaspoons and unwashed cups.
[...]'
Gerald Harper,
casually dressed in white jeans, a
denim shirt and suede shoes, and
bearing little resemblance to the country
gentleman image of James Hadleigh, is
one of the first to arrive, not by
chauffeur-driven car or even self-driven
car, but by tube train."
[...]
"Our chosen script extract
happens to have been written by David
Ambrose, a well-known television
author who works from the upstairs
study of his Primrose Hill maisonette.
His old and well-loved desk faces
patio doors which lead to a small
enclosed sun-trap verandah complete
with potted plants and a fruit-bearing
pear tree."
