The First Lady: You Too Can Change the World

on BBC One London

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

Sarah feels she needs an ally. When Marcus Bierlow offers his support she enthusiastically accepts it. He is a clever, distinguished-looking man with plenty of enthusiasm and energy. But Marcus has been turned down as a candidate by the two major political parties in Furness. Why? Could it be because he has a deadly enemy, plotting to undo every constructive effort he makes? Or could there be another reason? Trying to find the answers to these questions draws Sarah into one of the most difficult and explosive situations of her career.
