Flambards: The Complete Series

England in the early 1900s. The story begins as Christina (Christine McKenna) is sent to live with her domineering, crippled Uncle Russell (Edward Judd — The Hound of the Baskervilles) and her cousins Mark (Steven Grives — The Sandbaggers) and William (Alan Parnaby — The Pickwick Papers) at Flambards, a rambling, decaying mansion. Life at Flambards is a conflict of cultures, with Mark and his father clinging to a traditionalist obsession for horses, whilst William, clever and sensitive, dreams of a career in the new technology of aviation. It is into this class-conscious, male-dominated household, fraught with family friction, that Christina arrives — and her presence generates a changing pattern of events and relationships.
