  • 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."
