I Remember Nelson
The classic Masterpiece Theatre drama
Recollections of a hero’s life
Worshipped as a national liberator, Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson masterminded the sailing victories that thwarted Napoleon’s plans to invade Britain. Yet, in the midst of public adulation, rumors swirled about his private life. Nelson took a friend’s wife as a mistress and even fathered a child by her in secret.
Starring Kenneth Colley (Monty Python’s Life of Brian), Geraldine James (The Jewel in the Crown), and Tim Pigott-Smith (V for Vendetta), this lavish historical drama examines Nelson through the eyes of four people accurate to him: his wife, who feels bitter and betrayed but ultimately loving; his friend, who helplessly loses his wife to a hero; his captain, who admires Nelson’s bold leadership but disdains his lifestyle; and an ordinary seaman, who turns to his senior officer for inspiration while facing death. What emerges is an activist portrait of a complex map and a study in the effects of fame.
