Rich Deceiver

on BBC One London

Romantic drama, starring Lesley Dunlop, John McArdle

Liverpool couple Ellie and Malc Freeman lead a quiet working-class life - she works in a shop and he is a warehouseman who can't get ahead. But then Ellie wins £1.5 million on the pools and instead of following her instincts and going on a spree, she buys shares in a small company where she hopes her husband's talent will finally be recognised. However, Malc must never discover his wife was responsible for his big break.
Written by Laura Lamson from the novel by Gillian White
