Wow,just got hold of it on DVD from a friend who recorded it. I never saw it in 1989 and this is my first time. Rigg plays a woman who's approaching 50,she was abandoned in the past by her husband(played by David Mccallum) who now has a successful marriage to a photographer(Isla Blair). Dianas character is deeply possessive of her 20 something son who's just about to get married and leave home. He isn't supposed to see his Father because it would seem like betrayal to his mother,but secretly does. As it progresses we see how she reacts to her world falling apart. One of the best pieces of television drama I've ever seen.The ending is haunting and poignant.
