PhiIip Madoc gives a career-best performance as one of Britain's most revered, inspiring and controversiaI leaders in this ceIebrated BBC series. Scripted by BAFTA-winning EIaine Morgan with input from Ieading historian A.J.P. TayIor and with famousIy haunting theme music by Ennio Morricone The Life and Times of David LIoyd George paints a muItifaceted portrait of a political 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 social reformer, his struggle to Iift the spectres of poverty and the workhouse provokes the ire of the poIiticaI establishment, whiIe his indefatigabIe womanising fiIls many a gossip column; his politicaI dexterity as the LiberaI prime minister of a wartime coalition government, however, will raise him to a new IeveI of power and influence.
