First viewed : 5 May 1987
This mini-series was the sequel to A Woman of Substance . Both were based on novels by Barbara Taylor Bradford about a woman Emma Harte, who rises from humble beginnings to head a vast business empire and take revenge on the gentry family that abused her. Deborah Kerr resumed her role as the elderly Emma with Jenny Seagrove switching to play her granddaughter instead of her younger self. However, Liam Neeson retained his role as her confidante Blackie , made up as an old man and talking through a voice box like a Dalek. I think it's safe to assume he doesn't view it as his finest hour. For some lost reason, I tuned into the first episode, decided it was absolute rubbish and checked out again.
