Edward VII waited nearly 60 years to become King. He won the devotion of his people, the hearts of beautiful women and the fierce enmity of his mother, Queen Victoria. This sweeping saga covers 70 of the most tumultuous years of Britain at the height of her power. The story begins with the rebellion of a boy pampered beyond endurance and continues through his mother’s distrust and jealousy, his marriage and scandalous affairs, his most delicate international negotiations and his behind-the-throne carousing. Starring: Timothy West, Sir John Gielgud, Helen Ryan, Francesca Annis, Annette Crosbie.
