Nigel Havers (Chariots of Fire, Dangerfield) stars as Paul Craddock in this evocative adaptation of R.F. Delderfield's bestselling novel, a magnificent saga of rural Edwardian England from 1900 to the end of the Great War. Paul Craddock, invalided out of the army during the Boer War, becomes Squire of the long neglected Devonshire Estate of Shallowford House. The 13-part series charts Craddock's new life in the Valley, his relationships with his tenants, his popularity with the local women and subsequent marriage to a woman who longs for a life in the city and of course, its bitter and inevitable end. Life in Sorrel Valley is challenging for Paul because of the Valley's inhabitants and the harsh consequences of war; however all is not lost, when the woman he truly loves is once again by his side.
