Will Mellor stars in a new adaptation of A Woman of Substance on Channel 4 written by Katherine Jakeways
Based on the best-selling novel by Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE, A Woman of Substance is an epic drama spanning six decades, charting the rise of Emma Harte from penniless Yorkshire maid in the early 1900s to powerful 1970s business mogul.
Betrayed by her aristocratic lover and cast out when she becomes pregnant, young Emma vows a lifelong revenge on the family she once worked for and who underestimated her. Through love, loss, war, and unrelenting ambition, Emma amasses power, outwits rivals, and shapes her own destiny.
In the 1970s, as she approaches her 80th birthday, betrayal from within Emma’s own family threatens everything she’s fought a lifetime to build.
A Woman of Substance is released on C4 on Wednesday March 11th at 9pm
