The Warden Part 1
The Barchester Chronicles The Warden Episode 1 of 2
A hospital warden is accused of corruption over funding. Anthony Trollope dramatisation with Juliet Aubrey and Douglas Hodge.
The first in a series of new dramatisations of Anthony Trollope's Barchester Chronicles, starring Maggie Steed, Tim Pigott-Smith and Andrew Sachs.
The Barchester Chronicles are Anthony Trollope's much-loved series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and the surrounding county of Barsetshire.
The gentle Mr Harding finds his peaceful life disrupted when his would-be son-in-law John Bold calls into question the large income he receives as warden of Barchester alms house. Mr Harding's daughter Eleanor is equally shocked and upset by her suitor's actions and she sets out to discover why the man she loves wants to injure someone as well-respected and loved as her mild-mannered father.
With Maggie Steed as Mrs Baxter, Tim Pigott-Smith as Mr Harding, Andrew Sachs as Bishop Grantly, Claire Price as Eleanor, Bryan Dick as John Bold, Malcolm Sinclair as Archdeacon Grantly, Charlotte Emmerson as Susan Grantly, Georgie Fuller as Mary Bold, Sean Murray as Bunce, Nick Brimble as Abel Handy and David Seddon as Tom Towers. Directed by Susan Roberts.
