Film Description

All thirteen episodes from this 1978 TV adaptation of R.F. Delderfield's novel set in the early years of the 20th century. Nigel Havers stars. Part 1 sees Paul Craddock become the squire of the neglected Devonshire estate of Shallowford after being invalided out of the army. However, on his arrival, Craddock finds the locals need convincing that he is up to the job and sets about this with the help of his estate manager, John Rudd. In part 2, Craddock is now Squire of Shallowford although Lord Gilroy, his neighbour, isn't impressed with his management style. Paul is married with a son but unfortunately his wife has left him to return to London and her beloved suffragette movement. In part 3 Craddock begins to worry, as the shadow of war is cast over the valley, about the opportunism that has sprung up and when it is suggested he cut down his trees for the war effort he is adamanently against it. Those away at war also cause concern and everyone is relieved when Paul returns home on leave but the news that the Squire is missing in action only causes despair.
