Liz, long widowed, meets the Nepalese Damar, a proud former Gurkha, whilst on holiday in Torquay, and the two are soon planning to marry; but their union, and Damar’s presence in the country, is resented by ungrateful offspring, jealous neighbours, and the law, in this well-intentioned and competently acted if never entirely convincing television play, whose characters often feel terribly one-dimensional.
