Patrick Melrose

Witty, wealthy, and carrying a litany of issues. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Patrick Melrose in an adaptation of Edward St Aubyn's acclaimed novels.

As Patrick undergoes feverish withdrawal, we go back to the south of France, 1967, to witness a pivotal moment in his childhood.

1990: Patrick is attempting to stay clean. But boredom and temptation abound at a lavish party, where a caustic Princess Margaret is guest of honour.

In 2003, Patrick and his family visit his ailing mother for the summer. But some unwelcome guests impede on any hope of a blissful break.

In the final chapter of the series, Patrick attends his mother's funeral as he attempts to put the ghosts of the past to rest.
