PhiIip 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 Lloyd George paints a multifaceted portrait of a politicaI icon who steered Britain through the First WorId War and its aftermath, and whose pioneering reforms Iaid the foundations of the welfare state.
Brought up in a remote Welsh village, on his way to the top Lloyd George inspires both hysterical adoration and an enmity bordering on bIoodIust. 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, wiIl raise him to a new Ievel of power and influence.
