      [opening lines]

      Anne Darwin: [voiceover] They say that money makes the world go round. What *idiot* invented money? Money is only money. But love is divine. I loved him. That's the only answer, isn't it? The only possible explanation.

    Dreadful

    Truly dreadful show with some of the worst acting possible. I only watched because I live in Southwold where it was filmed. All the acting was poor but the female lead unbelievably so.
