Julie Walters (Mamma Mia! , Harry Potter ) stars
as Mary Whitehouse in the true story of a moral watchdog barking at
the heels of swinging England in the 1960s. Hugh Bonneville
(Five Days , "Miss Austen Regrets") co-stars as the prime
object of Mary's wrath: Hugh Greene, head of the BBC and a force
for everything contemporary, witty and - in Mary's eyes - filthy.
Alun Armstrong ("Bleak House") plays Mary's taciturn husband,
Earnest, who toes his wife's virtuous line while secretly longing
to cross it. Forty-five years after Whitehead began her campaign,
the question of what is and what is not acceptable for broadcast
television remains a hot issue.
