JM Barrie's story set in Scotland towards the close of the 19th Century. With Phyllis Logan as Maggie Wylie and David Hayman as John Shand.
Maggie Wylie hides her capabilities to let her husband, John Shand think he has done it all by himself to get into the Houses of Parliament. But during the newly established 'ladies committees', Lady Sybil becomes a distraction. Who is really behind John Shand's success?
"Every man who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that. It's our only joke. Every woman knows that."
