Synopsis:

Holliday Grainger, Richard Madden and James Norton star in this BBC adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's novel, written and directed by Jed Mercurio. After her upper-class husband Sir Clifford (Norton) returns home from the First World War confined to a wheelchair and paralysed from the waist down, Lady Constance Chatterley (Grainger) embarks upon an affair with the estate's gamekeeper Oliver Mellors (Madden). But in the strict society of 1920s England, Lady Chatterley is forced to decide whether to continue her scandalous affair or reconcile with her increasingly suspicious husband.

In 1913 Connie Reid marries wealthy Nottingham colliery owner Sir Clifford Chatterley but he returns from the Great War disabled and in a wheelchair. Connie is loyal but begins to feel alienated as he engages a nurse, Mrs Bolton, to bathe him and excludes her from pit business. Despite his desire for an heir his impotency results in a lack of sexual activity and Connie is drawn to handsome Oliver Mellors, the plain-spoken former miner her husband has engaged as his game-keeper and who represents the passion she craves. They embark upon a physical affair in Oliver's cottage but are discovered and betrayed by Mrs Bolton. Connie, now carrying Oliver's child, must choose between a pampered but joyless existence with her husband or an uncertain future with the man she has come to love.
