Summer's Lease

Broadcast: May 12-June 2, 1991. Story of an English family who rents a house in Tuscany, where Molly, mother of the family, discovers more about her absentee landlord than is good for her. Molly Pargeters is a nice woman, vaguely dissatisfied with her life, who takes to amateur sleuthing in her quest for the elusive owner of the villa. Her father Haverford Downs is an aging roue whose libido never stops and a columnist for a London newspaper, who encounters a former flame at the villa nearby.
