The First Lady: The Man from Down Under

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Sheila Hodgson
Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles

Judy Pascal - adopted daughter of the Pascals - is about to get married. Her socially ambitious parents plan a huge wedding to which most of the top people of Furness are invited. But one uninvited guest threatens to turn up as well - Ted Yarrow, Judy's real father! Yarrow enlists Sarah's sympathy and help in tracking down his daughter, telling her that he has just returned from Australia. She even puts him up at her house. But is he telling her the truth? Could it be that he has just left Dartmoor Prison... after serving a sentence for murder?
