Ep 1

Shooting the Germans

May 30, 1980

When MP Charles Latimer notices fellow diner Lorraine Watts enduring the lecherous advances of her companion, his gallant instincts are aroused, and the would-be Lothario is swiftly repulsed witha plate of profiteroles. A grateful Lorraine returns to Charles' flat with him; they learn each other's names in the cold light of morning. And that's when Charles' fiancee, Sybilla, unexpectedly appears...

Ep 2

Them and Us

Jun 6, 1980

With Charles temporarily out of favour with Sybilla he's free to pursure Lorraine, who is whirled into new worlds - including the Covent Garden opera and the House Of Commons. Lorraine's father makes no secret of his disapproval, and a close shave with his prospective father-in-law coupled with the activities of a gossip columnist land Charles back into hot water.

Ep 3

Decisions, Decisions

Jun 13, 1980

Charles is certain he will eventually have to marry Sybilla. He's equally certain he's in love with Lorraine. He faces a dilemma: although Lorraine has persuaded him to take her on holiday to Spain, Sybilla reminds him that he's also to go up to Scotland for the Glorious Twelfth. He hedges with the instinctive evasiveness of the experienced politician.

Ep 4

A Bit on the Side

Jun 20, 1980

When Lorraine sees Charles affectionately greeting a young brunette, she jumps to obvious conclusions. Since Lorraine now refuses to speak to him, Charles persuades her Swedish flatmate Astrid to have lunch with him and tell him what's going on.Sybilla enters the same restaurant and things get complicated...

Ep 5

Open to the Public

Jun 27, 1980

Charles' upper-crust connections prove useful when a stately home is needed for filming of Lorraine's new TV commercial. Lord Cunnigham, otherwise known as Smidger, is happy to oblige and the TV crew moves in. Smidger and his aristocratic friend Henry seem to be living proof that Lorraine's father was right after all, the classes just can't mix.
