Jonathan Cake, Jemma Redgrave and Emma Davies star in this lavishly produced drama that follows the turbulent personal and political career of Sir Oswald Mosley. Mosley was a man women found irresistible and other men followed blindly. He was rich, brilliant and fearless, a man who should have ranked with the heroes of the centuary. Instead his personal life and political career ended in disgrace.

Once a leading politician and dashing socila figure, Mosley is now remembered as the leader of the dictatorial popularist movement in the decade before World War II. Decades after the events that brought Mosley to prominence, the man who wanted to make Britian a fascist state remains a figure of controversy.

This series charts Mosley's rise to political notoriety through his personal life. It presents a vivd portrait of a man determined to achieve power and to have frequent sexual liasons. Central to the series is Mosley's first marriage to Cimmie, daughter of Lord Curzon. He wooed and won her over but their relationship foundered on her pain and humiliation following revelations of his frequent affairs. Thereafter she died prematurely at the age of 34.

Mosley then married Diana Guiness in Nazi Germany at a time when his politics were moving to the right and he had cut himself off from the conventional political parties.

His political career had started differently, returning from the First World War he became the youngest MP in 1918and was a rising star of the Conservative Party but eventually fell out with it. He subsequently joined the Labour Party, reaching ministerial rank and was considered as a future leader of the party. Once again he fell out with his party, left and joined the New Party and then the British Union Of Fascists.
