Their's was a society in which adultery was routine and Errol set the pace with a series of flamboyant affairs with the colony's leading ladies – including the delightfully eccentric Alice (Sarah Miles). It was in this highly charged atmosphere that 57-year old Sir Delves Broughton (Joss Ackkland), brought his ravishing young bride, Diana (Greta Saachi). A vibrant and sensual creature who fell flagrantly in love with Errol. This affair was the beginning of the end for the glittering Happy Valley crowd. It could never be the same again...
