The Ambassador: The Complete Series

Created by BAFTA nominee and acclaimed writer Russell Lewis, (Sharpe's Peril, Inspector Morse, Kavanagh Q.C. & The Bill) and starring Academy Award nominee Pauline Collins (Shirley Valentine), The Ambassador is a gripping series that takes place in the powerful and volatile halls of Britain's Embassy in an Ireland standing on the brink of civil unrest.
Harriet Smith's recent appointment as liaison and trouble-shooter for the British Empire in Ireland has taken her deep into a world of corruption, scandal and crime. Surrounded by unscrupulous contemporaries and relying on the protective services of MI6, trust is a rare commodity and politics is a game played with deadly repercussions. Continually under fire, Ambassador Smith must tread a perilous path in order to navigate the Machiavellian agenda's of diplomatic saboteurs and unseen rivals while remaining dedicated to the interests of the Irish people, the demands of her family and most important of all, her duty to Britain.
