Edward and Mrs Simpson

An impossible choice between love and duty. A choice to be made by the King of England, Edward VIII. To choose love is to deny his birthright and throw an Empire into constitutional crisis; to choose duty is to deny himself. This compelling, award-winning drama covers the turbulent period between 1928 and the King's abdication in December 1936, during which desperate attempts were made to bring the King to understand both his duty and his obligation - a situation which polarised the Cabinet, the Church of England and politicians across the Empire. Based on Frances Donaldson's definitive biography of Edward VIII, Edward and Mrs. Simpson is a stunningly atmospheric period piece, winning BAFTAs for both Best Design and Best Drama Serial. For his<br/>outstanding performance as the King, Edward Fox won a BAFTA for Best Actor, as well as awards from the Broadcasting Press Guild, the Royal Television Society and the TV Times.
