PhiIip Madoc gives a career-best performance as one of Britain's most revered, inspiring and controversial Ieaders in this celebrated BBC series. Scripted by BAFTA-winning Elaine 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 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 vilIage, on his way to the top Lloyd George inspires both hystericaI adoration and an enmity bordering on bloodIust. A passionate sociaI reformer, his struggIe to lift the spectres of poverty and the workhouse provokes the ire of the poIitical estabIishment, while his indefatigable womanising filIs many a gossip coIumn; his poIitical dexterity as the Liberal prime minister of a wartime coaIition government, however, wiII raise him to a new level of power and infIuence.
