The House of Eliott

The Eliott sisters Beatrice and Evie return from America to discover that many of their London clients have deserted them for a rival fashion designer.

Bea and Evie design a ready to wear collection with Larry Cotter. Abraham Barak turns down Jack's script and Madge's brother turns up. Meanwhile, Don Bradley departs and Stan gets into a fight with devastating consequences.

Beatrice and Evie are ready to sign a contract with Larry Cotter to expand into the ready to wear market. Beatrice and Jack have a reconciliation, but Donald Bradley is ready to ask for her hand in marriage.

The birth of Tilly's baby brings great excitement to the troubled workroom. However, Beatrice is now worried about her own future. Preparations for the ready to wear collection are in full swing as the new premises are set up.

Beatrice gives birth to Lucy prematurely while Jack is away working in Glasgow. Back in the workroom, Tilly returns following a tragedy.

Evie questions Beatrice's motives when she recommends Daniel as a portrait painter to an attractive client. Meanwhile, Tilly's depression deepens and Norman becomes desperate to save their marriage.

The excitement surrounding the fashion house's venture into ready to wear clothing is shattered when Joseph makes a chance discovery, and the future of the House of Eliott lies in the balance. Can Evie and Bea save it?

When legal action against Larry and Grace proves pointless, Bea and Evie are forced to take matters into their own hands. A weekend spent at a client of the House of Eliott's brings two announcements; one from Jack and one from Daniel.

As their wedding day draws nearer, Evie is disturbed by Daniel's behavior. Jack's interest in politics continues, but will he be chosen to stand for election?

Bea and Evie lose the venue for their collection. The day of Jack's by-election arrives and a proposal from Miles's wealthy father threatens to split the House of Elliot apart.
