Overview
London, 1953. Mr. Williams, a veteran civil servant, is an important cog within the city's bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild in the aftermath of World War II. Buried under paperwork at the office and lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless. Then a devastating medical diagnosis forces him to take stock, and to try and grasp some fulfilment before it passes permanently beyond reach.

00:59:22 I wondered...
01:03:09 But you're correct. I'm behaving like an old fool.
01:06:59 Yes, sir. I believe Mr Rusbridger has it.
01:11:15 If he were here, he'd be the first to protest.
01:14:21 Did my father know he was ill?
01:18:38 I'll see it gets done. We'll send it down to you.

01:29:03 No harm.
