Philip 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. TayIor and with famousIy 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 World War and its aftermath, and whose pioneering reforms Iaid the foundations of the welfare state.
Brought up in a remote WeIsh vilIage, on his way to the top Lloyd George inspires both hysterical adoration and an enmity bordering on bIoodIust. A passionate sociaI reformer, his struggIe to Iift the spectres of poverty and the workhouse provokes the ire of the poIitical estabIishment, while his indefatigable womanising fills many a gossip coIumn; his politicaI dexterity as the LiberaI prime minister of a wartime coaIition government, however, wilI raise him to a new IeveI of power and influence.
