DESCRIPTION
All ten episodes from the first series of the early 1970s drama series about ambitious northern anti-hero Joe Lampton (Kenneth Haigh). Based on John Braine's best-selling novel, the series follows Joe's now successful career as a city stockbroker, a career helped by his marriage to his former boss's daughter, Susan (Zena Walker). Aggressive as ever in business, Joe fights hard to maintain the trappings of success, but soon finds himself vulnerable to the temptations his exalted status provides.

A gem for those who recall watching this, probably in black and white (although it is in colour). The tape has cleaned up well, although there is quite a contrast in texture between outdoor and studio scenes. The slightly grainy "Thames Televsion" intro adds to the nostalgia. The acting and plots are very good, but the pace in which they are delivered would not stand up today. Nonetheless, if you enjoyed it when it was originally screened, or like me, missed a few episodes (we used to go out to the pub regularly in those days), it's worth buying.
