AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The life of Australian socialite Lucinda Brayford from ages eighteen to forty-nine, and her relationships with the men in her lives: old family friend Toby, philandering husband Hugo, lover Pat, and son Stephen. Each episode of the four-part series concentrates on the developing relationship with one of these four men. The series begins in Melbourne but takes place largely in England, following Lucinda's marriage.

Interviewed for the Australian Women's Weekly, producer Oscar Whitbread noted, 'Australia's society, especially Melbourne' aristocracy, has never really been properly depicted on television. [...] The ultra rich ARE different. Lucinda Brayford is an accurate portrayal of the 'beautiful people' as they existed 50 years ago, with all their elegance and impeccable manners' (Wed. 11 June 1980, p.138S).
