2) 'The Conscience of the Rich' (Sunday 26th January 2003 , 3:00 p.m.)
It is April 1936 and Lewis is now 31 years old. While the facists and the Republicans fought it out in Spain, Lewis navigated his way through the lower echelons of the British establishment. From obscure Midlands poverty he has risen to a fellowship in law at Cambridge University. He had a pretty wife who no one except his closest friends knew was useless. He had never been to University and learned his basic law at night school. He had never been in business and imbibed the vocabulary of management in the atheneum and the manners of privilege at the Friday night dinners of his closest friend's family - the fabulously wealthy Marches. The trick had worked. He was taken seriously and lived on the penumbra of the 300 or so people who actually run the country. Dramatised by Jonathan Holloway from C. P. Snow's 1958 novel, "The Conscience of the Rich". With Adam Godley [Lewis Eliot], Anastasia Hille [Sheila Knight], Jamie Glover [Charles March], John Standing [Leonard March], David Horovitch [Philip March], Adam Levy [Roy Calvert], Emma Woolliams [Ann Simon], Michael Culkin [Ronald Porson], Clive Merrison [Godfrey Winslow], Philip Franks [Arthur Brown], Andy Taylor [Francis Getliffe] and David Haig [The Narrator]. 60 minutes
