with Peter Sallis as Samuel Pepys

The action takes place at Woolwich, Whitehall Palace, and the City of London.
It is 1664. In spite of his own roving eye Samuel Pepys has seen fit to reprove his cousin and patron, Lord Sandwich, for having an affair with a girl in Chelsea and absenting himself from Court. Sandwich resents Samuel's interference and a serious rift develops.
