Why, as a lifelong socialist, did the Reverend Simeon Simcox (Michael Hordern), Rector of Rapstone Fanner, bequeath his fortune to a Conservative Minister, the odious Leslie Titmuss (David Threlfall)? Henry Simcox (Peter Egan), his eldest son, decides to find out. The award-winning series written by John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Bailey) is a chronicle of English political and social life, examining the warm and sweeping family saga spanning four decades.
