Episode synopsis
Beth Craddock is a highly successful television actress in her early fifties but her professional success is not reflected in her private life. She has had four husbands and the fourth is about to leave her for a younger woman. She begins an affair with co-star Jerome, who is 30 years her junior and, despite general disapproval, they're genuinely happy. Unfortunately, Jerome's health issues mean that the story does not end well for Beth.
About Canterbury Tales
Six single dramas adapted from six of Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century Canterbury Tales, transferred to a modern, 21st century setting, but still set along the traditional Pilgrims' route to Canterbury.
