Adapted by award winning writer Andrew Davies from Alan Hollinghurst's Booker Prize winning novel, this three part saga is set during the hedonistic 1980s and stars a mix of new, young talent and established names. A story of love, class, sex and money, The Line of Beauty crawls deep under the skin of Thatcher's Britain, seen through the eyes and experiences of a young, gay man from the euphoria of falling in love to the tragedy of AIDS. Framed by the two general elections, which returned Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative government to power, the series unfurls through four extraordinary years of change and tragedy.
