O Salutaris Hostia, Diana

Episode 4 of 5

A married couple reflect on life waiting for Princess Diana's funeral cortege. Stars Toby Jones and Imelda Staunton. From March 2012.

The History Plays are a series of imagined conversations at key moments in the recent history of Britain.

In "O Salutaris Hostia, Diana" Imelda Staunton stars as Martha and Toby Jones as Graham. The couple look back over their lives together but their very different views on Diana mask a far more personal conflict, and Graham's dislike of the princess has its roots in his pain over the circumstances of their son Alan's death.

Written and directed by Nigel Smith
Produced by Gareth Edwards.
