The First Lady: In Shocking Taste

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Hugh Forbes
Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles

When a lorry full of workmen crashes into a Furness cafe, Tom Danby attempts a rescue but ends up in hospital himself. Sarah considers him a hero; so do Kingston and the rest of Furness - all except Will Tarrant. Will holds that the accident need never have happened in the first place and accuses even Tom of inexperience and incompetence. Sarah takes the warpath - but could Will be right after all?
