...Freddy Eynsford-Hill, the bumbling aristocrat who falls in love with Eliza at Ascot and thereafter spends most of his time burbling love songs on the street where she lives. Milo O'Shea, who plays her father, Alfred P. Doolittle, is a fine and feisty rogue, and Jack Gwillim manages to be both good-hearted and hopelessly stuffy, just as Colonel Pickering, that confirmed old bachelor, should be.

Her husband John (Jack Gwillim) is a prosperous Harley Street surgeon who is having an affair with Constance's best friend, a blonde married flibbertigibbet. Omniscient as Sherlock Holmes and calmative as Candida, Constance knows all about it and does not wish to be told. But friends will tell...
