First viewed : 16 May 1995
This dark three-part drama on Channel Four was written by Paula Milne. It starred Juliet Stevenson as Flora Matlock, the wife of a Tory minister who schemes to avenge herself on her philandering husband Duncan ( Trevor Eve) and also her father ( Frederick Treves ) who's been covering up his affair with a researcher ( Minnie Driver ). The series pushed the boat out with its sex scenes including Duncan sodomising Flora and Flora masturbating in the lingerie he's bought for his mistress. The series concluded with Flora successfully supplanting Duncan as an MP with him being packed off to obscurity in Brussels.
Milne's follow-up series, though with none of the same characters, The Politician's Husband was shown on BBC Two in 2013.
