She-Devil

The Life and Loves of a She-Devil comes to DVD.

Based upon Fay Weldon's novel, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil had the nation gripped when it was first broadcast in 1986.

It's also one of the most-requested series that you want on DVD - if the Cult inbox is anything to go by. Now, thanks to Network, you've got your wish - it's out on 30th August.

A dark, cautionary tale involving obsession and impersonation, it made a star out of Julie T Wallace and secured the reputations of Patricia Hodge and Dennis Waterman. It also shocked us with the sight of former Doctor Who, Tom Baker's naked posterior!

When Ruth (Julie T Wallace) discovers that her dull, accountant husband, Bobbo (Dennis Waterman) has been having an affair with elegant novelist Mary Fisher (Patricia Hodge), she decides to exact her revenge.

In the process Ruth proves that there is nothing more terrifying than a woman scorned.

Extras in the set include:

  • Bookmark - Dilemma Of A She Novelist - Fay Weldon special from 1986.
  • Breakfast Time interview with Dennis Waterman.
  • Breakfast Time interview the Juliet T Wallace.
  • London Plus clip of Fay Weldon reading extracts from her book.
