The Carrington Dynasty [audio 15min]

The Carringtons are a family close to the royalty and the corridors of power over the last 200 years. Although one of the more recently established of the great families, they have managed to produce some scandalous characters. "This Sceptred Isle: Dynasties" is a narrative history charting over a thousand years of influence wielded by the power brokers of Britain and Ireland, told in 10 programmes written by historian Christopher Lee and narrated by actor Anna Massey, with readings by actor Robert Powell.
