Upstairs, Downstairs

Virginia finds herself drawn to a man who is a philanderer. Richard ignores the situation, assuming the man is gay, until a mutual friend alerts James to the man's real motives. Hannah Gordon appears in the series as a central character.

"Such a Lovely Man" is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre and is listed simply as a programme rather than a series or film. The title suggests a focus on a particular character or situation, and the format is that of a self‑contained story. The narrative centres on Virginia, who finds herself the object of a philanderer's attention. Richard, assuming the newcomer is homosexual, chooses to overlook the situation. This misconception persists until a mutual friend alerts James to the man's genuine intentions, revealing that the attraction is not as innocent as Richard believed. The plot therefore pivots on mistaken identity and the revelation of true motives. Hannah Gordon appears in the episode, providing a notable performance among the cast. As the sole actor mentioned in the source material, her involvement is highlighted without reference to any additional personnel. The episode therefore combines a concise storyline with a limited but specific cast, delivering its content within the framework of a single televised instalment.
