South Riding Episode 1 Summary

Time and Date are still to be confirmed but it will be at the end of February, will keep you all posted when it gets confirmed.

1/3

In the long aftermath of the First World War, 30-year-old Sarah Burton comes home from London to Yorkshire to take up the headmistress-ship of a struggling Yorkshire high school for girls. She is the very image of a modern woman, much more recognisable to her sisters in 2010 than she would have been to her contemporaries in 1935 – full of ambition, passion and fire to take her life into her own hands and live it to the very limit of her strength.
But the homecoming is more complicated than she thinks and before long her ambitions are in conflict with her feelings for the man least likely to have won her heart – Robert Carne, the handsome, haunted gentleman farmer she clashes with.
South Riding is a rich, compassionate and humane story of politics in small places and, in the end, the indestructibility of the human spirit.
