I think this was probably The Pallisers, based on the series of novels by Anthony Trollope, in which Plantagenet Palliser is bullied into marrying Glencora, and they become quite devoted to one another (over the course of many decades). There's tons of Victorian politics in it, about their family and also Phineas Finn. It was great!<br>

<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">I have a patron looking for a BBC series that ran sometime in the 1970s, although the series actually took place sometime in the 19th Century (it was fictional, not based on real life). She said it
was about a guy from a wealthy family who wanted to marry for love but his family considered the girl beneath him and his family forced him to marry someone else. He became a member of parliament. She thinks the TV series ran for several seaons. She also thinks
the guy's last name and/or the title of the series started with a "P". Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks for your help!</font></div>
