Season 1 • Episode 6
LatestFrancis has a confession to make to his family: Vickie is horrified, Fred just laughs. Elsewhere, Sylvia visits Harold Atterbrow in hospital.
During the Suez Crisis of 1956, two young clerks at the stuffy Foreign Office in Whitehall display little interest in the decline of the British Empire. To their eyes, it can hardly compete with girls, rock music, and the intrigue of romantic entanglements.
