Although Margaret and Frances came from contrasting backgrounds and had very different personalities, Ffion maintains that Lloyd George needed both women in his life and he leaned heavily on their support.The programme takes us to the heart of no 10 Downing Street as Sarah Brown guides Ffion around the rooms used by Margaret as wife of the PM.
