Who is Linda Radlett? When the story starts, Linda Radlett is 17-years old. She is living an isolated life with her family, including her father, who thinks that education is not for girls. She is desperate for her life to begin – and above all, she wants to fall in love. Through the eyes of her cousin Fanny, we follow her adventures through her 20...
Who is Fanny Logan? Our narrator, who guides us through the story of her favourite cousin, Linda Radlett. Academic, educated Fanny is quieter and more sensible than Linda, but Linda can push her to let her guard down a bit. Since being abandoned by her parents (and specifically by her mother, "The Bolter"), Fanny has been brought up by her mother's...
Who is Uncle Matthew? Properly known as "Lord Alconleigh", he is Linda's father, and Fanny Logan's detested uncle. As Dominic West puts it, "Uncle Matthew is a legendary figure in the Mitford books, he was the father figure based on Nancy Mitford’s father. He was an old school countryman. Uncle Matthew hunts his children and is quite a frightening ...
Who is Lord Merlin? The Radletts' libertine neighbour. Uncle Matthew does not like him one bit, but Linda is delighted by him. Andrew Scott says, "Lord Merlin is a funny, inspiring, brave character. He’s audacious and free with his attitude towards love, life and sex and art." What else has Andrew Scott been in? In recent years, he's starred as Joh...
Who is The Bolter? Linda's mother, who is nicknamed "The Bolter" because she bolts from commitment – to men, and to her daughter.

Emily Mortimer is more commonly seen on the big ...
Who is Aunt Sadie? Linda's mother and Matthew's wife. They have a large family together, and she is quite ineffectual – generally letting Matthew take the lead with parenting decisions.

What else has Annabel Mullion been in? In recent years she's had roles in Victoria, Patrick Melrose and Women on the Verge – and plenty of theatre productions...
Who is Davey? Aunt Emily's new man, which makes him Fanny's sort-of stepfather. They get along pretty well. What else has John Heffernan been in? John Heffernan's credits include The Loch, Dickensian, Collateral, Brexit: The Uncivil War, The Crown (in which he memorably played Lord Altrincham), Luther, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Ripper Street a...
Who is Alfred Winchman? Fanny's husband, who is a young don at Oxford. She describes him as a dear and kind man, but he is also the sort of person to fuss about putting the wrong spoon in the wrong jam jar. He makes sure to fold his trousers before sex. (In the book, his surname is "Wincham".) What else has Shazad Latif been in? Notable roles have ...
Who is Fabrice De Sauveterre? A wealthy French Duke, who Linda meets at a train station in Paris. What else has Assaad Bouab been in?
