3. Judgement Day

Episode 3 of 6

There’s much to discuss as the sisters plan a supper party. But who to invite? Stars Miriam Margolyes and Hannah Gordon.

The rain brings unexpected guests and more gossip to the home of the sisters.

Harriet is still worried by the rumours about Mr Donne, but matters come to a head on the night he delivers the parish magazine.

Could a supper party be the place to get to know the new arrivals in the village – Dr Parnell and Mr Mold?
