She left the land of Marks and Spencer and went to the world of Marx and Lenin. Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution is a feelgood comedy following one dysfunctional family's journey from 1968 West Yorkshire to 19-below-freezing East Germany and back again. Mr Ratcliffe fought for the cause, but his wife fought for their family: a teenage sex goddess and a 12-year-old Communist spy. Will Mr Ratcliffe throw out his party cad and fall in love with his brave new wife?
