Or you can rent each disc individually:
Missing diamonds, political back-stabbing, a suspenseful courtroom drama, a sleazy newspaper hack, and the first hint of children problems in the First Family.
Part 3 introduces new threads while continuing to juggle with the main characters from the previous two series. The fizzy Lady Glencora (Susan Hampshire) is still scheming, the sadly charisma-free Phineas Finn (Donal McCann) is embroiled in dangerous political rivalry, and Trollope plays with our curiosity about which of his admirers he'll end up with - the tragic Laura Kennedy (Anna Massey) or the not-quite-respectable Madame Max (Barbara Murray)?
All that, and at least one new mouthwateringly sumptuous costume per scene.
Coveted diamonds, sleazy newspaper hacks, back-stabbing MPs, moustache-twirling cads, manipulative seductresses, difficult teenage sons, suspenseful courtroom drama, cliffhangers at the end of every episode and at least one sumptuous new frock per scene. What more could anyone want?
Part 3 introduces new characters and continues to juggle the relationships and themes introduced in the two earlier series. The fizzy Lady Glencora (Susan Hampshire) is still scheming, and the up-and-coming Phineas Finn (the not quite charismatic enough Donal McCann) is at daggers drawn with a rival politician. Who will win Finn's affections, now that he's a widower - tragic Laura Kennedy (Anna Massey) or not-quite-respectable Madame Max (Barbara Murray)?
