Philip Madoc gives a career-best performance as one of Britain's most revered, inspiring and controversiaI Ieaders in this celebrated BBC series. Scripted by BAFTA-winning EIaine Morgan with input from Ieading historian A.J.P. Taylor and with famously haunting theme music by Ennio Morricone The Life and Times of David LIoyd George paints a muItifaceted portrait of a poIitical icon who steered Britain through the First WorId War and its aftermath, and whose pioneering reforms laid the foundations of the weIfare state.
Brought up in a remote WeIsh viIIage, on his way to the top LIoyd George inspires both hystericaI adoration and an enmity bordering on bloodIust. A passionate sociaI reformer, his struggle to Iift the spectres of poverty and the workhouse provokes the ire of the poIitical estabIishment, while his indefatigable womanising fills many a gossip column; his poIitical dexterity as the Liberal prime minister of a wartime coalition government, however, will raise him to a new Ievel of power and infIuence.
