Crown House: 1

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A serial in eight episodes by Peter Ling and Juliet Ace
starring Jane Asher, Gayle Hunnicutt, Margaret Rawlings, Dinah Sheridan, Martin Jarvis, Richard Pasco and Dominic Rickhards
A tale of two families: the Minsters of Crown House, and the Royal Family of Windsor. April 21, 1926 is a significant date for both households. While the old Earl of Minster is laid to rest and his son, William assumes the title, the King and Queen await the birth of a royal grandchild. William's wife, Alice, is lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary, and through her the families are drawn together; but at the heart of the story is the house itself, set in its magical garden, slowly maturing in beauty year by year, as the saga unfolds.
