NOW A MAJOR ITV SUNDAY NIGHT DRAMAThe brand new story from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, set in 1840s London

Nel giugno del 1815, Bruxelles è in festa, con mercati affollati e carrozze colorate, mentre l'imperatore Napoleone si avvicina. La diciottenne Sophia Trenchard, una bellezza inglese, è più interessata a Lord Edmund Bellasis, erede di una delle famiglie più importanti della Gran Bretagna, che le ha procurato inviti per il ballo della duchessa di Richmond. La guerra ha creato opportunità, e Sophia è determinata a sfruttare questa occasione. Suo padre, James Trenchard, noto come "il Mago", è un abile commerciante che ha scalato la società partendo da una bancarella a Covent Garden. La madre, Anne, cerca di mantenere la famiglia con i piedi per terra e ostacola l'unione tra Sophia ed Edmund, temendo che il marito veda in questa relazione un modo per ascendere ulteriormente. Durante il ballo, un aiutante di campo interrompe la serata con un messaggio: le truppe francesi hanno oltrepassato il confine, e gli ufficiali inglesi devono tornare ai loro reggimenti. Le eleganti sale diventano teatro di commiati strazianti, compreso quello tra Sophia e Lord Bellasis. Venticinque anni dopo, i Trenchard vivono a Belgravia, un quartiere edificato da James, ora facoltoso nel settore edilizio. Vicini ai conti di Brockenhurst, i genitori di Edmund, le due famiglie sono unite da un segreto che suscita curiosità e pettegolezzi nei salotti londinesi, dando vita a eventi ricchi di colpi di scena. Con uno stile impeccabile, l'autore esplora le tensio

SNOBS Edith Lavery, the attractive only child of a middle-class accountant, leaves behind her dull job when she manages to bag one of the most eligible bachelors in town. But is life amongst the aristocracy really all that it seems ...? PAST IMPERFECT Damian Baxter is very, very rich. But he has one concern: who should inherit his fortune. A letter from an ex-girlfriend suggests Damian may have fathered a child, but the letter is anonymous. Finding the truth will not be easy - and the only man who can help is Damian's sworn enemy ..

Damian Baxter is hugely wealthy and dying. He lives alone in a big house in Surrey, England, looked after by a chauffeur, butler, cook and housemaid. He has but one concern—his fortune in excess of 500 million pounds, and who should inherit it on his death. Past Imperfect is the story of a quest. Damian Baxter wishes to know if he has a living heir. By the time he married in his late thirties he was sterile (the result of adult mumps), but what about before that unfortunate illness? Had he sired a child? He sets himself (and others) to the task of finding his heir.

'Snobs' is a witty and enthralling contemporary comedy of manners set against the background of aristocracy, business and actors written by the Oscar winning screenwriter 'Gosford Park'.
