At a time when couples married for money and position, Sarah Jennings and John Churchill married for love—and survived five decades, five monarchs, and countless intrigues of the 17th-century English court. Based on Sir Winston Churchill’s biography of his ancestors, the first Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, this addictive BBC miniseries launched Masterpiece Theatre. Susan Hampshire won an Emmy® for her performance as the tempestuous Sarah. 12 episodes, 9 hrs, 3 DVDs, SDH.
