Although her business was thriving, her private life was in shambles. With children from several marriages and a tragic accident, the family affairs were very complicated.

The highest rated miniseries on Channel 4 in the UK. It's quite a long ride, and that doesn't even include the sequels. Later Hold the Dream and [url=https://www.moviemeter.nl/film/30463]To Be the Best[/ url] still released. Still, this miniseries remains entertaining to watch, and the hours fly by quickly.

3.0 *
