On her 40th birthday, Alison Braithwaite gets the surprise of
her life when she wins 38 million in the first Euro Lottery. She decides to keep
the news of her win from her family so as not to encourage the baser instincts
of her three squabbling daughters and banker husband. But she's not the only one
living a double life. As her family lurches from one crisis to another, Alison
tries to use her windfall responsibly, resisting the pressure to let her family
in on her secret. Eventually, though, all the Braithwaite secrets come tumbling
out in one big pile of dirty linen. A smash hit in the U.K., this cutting-edge dramatic comedy stars acclaimed
actress Amanda Redman (Sexy Beast) with Peter Davison (Campion, Dr.
Who), Lynda Bellingham (My Uncle Silas), and Sylvia Syms (The
Jury). |
