Rent Nanny: Series (1983)

In the wake of a life changing divorce, Barbara Gray (Wendy Craig) has little left next to her name and begins a new life as a determined and headstrong Nanny. No Mary Poppins magic to be found in this story, as Barbara solves the children's (and the parents) problems with just good old fashioned advice and a selfless resolve. Set amongst the grand country houses of the rich, Barbara faces the struggle of society's prejudice against a divorcee, amongst a number of ongoing dramas in both her professional and personal life. In this classic period drama of scintillating highs and crushing lows, 'Nanny' tells the story of one woman's driving ambition to serve others above all else.
