Description
Four-part BBC adaptation of Mervyn Peake's series of novels.
The kingdom of Gormenghast rejoices when its ruler, Lord Sepulchrave, Earl of Groan (Ian Richardson), produces a son and heir: Titus, 77th Earl of Groan (Andrew Robertson/Cameron Powrie).
However, scheming kitchen boy Steerpike (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) dreams of taking power himself, and sets about driving Sepulchrave insane.
He also seduces Titus' sister, Lady Fuchsia (Neve McIntosh), as part of his plan to seize control of the kingdom.
It seems that Steerpike cannot fail in his plans - only the timid Titus, young and inexperienced, stands in his way...
