This programme is not currently available on BBC iPlayer

Drama based on the life of author Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit. Potter resists her parents' wishes for her to marry and pursues her dream of writing.

Biopic of one of the literary phenomena of the 20th century.

London, 1902. At a time when most young women of her class only aspired to a good marriage, Beatrix Potter became an iconic figure. She created a series of children's books and characters that are still admired today and have never been out of print. She swam against the mores of her day and found true love.
