W. Somerset Maugham: Episode

on BBC Two England

[Starring] Joe Brown as Fred Manson, Anna Calder-Marshall as Gracie Carter,
Jerome Willis as Ned Preston
(Gerald James is a National Theatre player)

For years the Carters scrimped and saved, and over the years their drapery business prospered. Their only daughter, Gracie, was given the chances and opportunities denied to her parents; her future was assured and predictable until she met and fell in love with an ordinary postman, Fred Manson.
