Stanley and the Women is a British television drama miniseries starring John Thaw, Samuel West, Geraldine James, Sheila Gish, Penny Downie and Sian Thomas.
This series based on the 1984 novel of the same name by Kingsley Amis and adapted for the television by Nigel Kneale and directed by David Tucker, it was produced by Central Independent Television for the ITV network and originally aired in four parts from 28 November to 19 December 1991.
He was married to an actress, Nowell, and is now dating Susan, with whom he has a complicated relationship, particularly because of the interference of her mother, Lady D. His son, Steve, suffers a mental breakdown, and Stanley takes him to two psychiatrists.
The first, Dr. Collings, is female and too liberated for Stanley; and the second, Dr. Nash, seems to be more interested in drinking than helping his son.
This was Donald Churchill's last acting role before his death on 29 October 1991, before the end of filming the series.
