Edward the Seventh

Edward the Seventh is a 1975 British historical drama series, made by ATV in 13 episodes.

It was directed by John Gorrie, who wrote episodes 7–10 with David Butler writing the remainder of the series.

Only the final three episodes dramatised Edward as King (in line with his short, nine-year reign, which did not begin until he was nearly sixty years old).

Annette Crosbie, who won a BAFTA for her performance, was given top billing in the series (appearing in ten out of the thirteen episodes).

In the United States it was shown under the title Edward the King, with episode introductions by Canadian-American broadcaster Robert MacNeil.
