What to expect
In Mrs. Harris Goes to Parliament, the honest-as-ever old char impresses her employer with her no-nonsense political views to such an extent that he—an MP, no less—encourages her to become a voice for the people of Battersea and stand for election herself. The world of local politics, however, soon proves a test for a lady as straight-laced as Mrs. Harris; political skullduggery, the glare of the media, and the apparent betrayal of a trusted friend all becoming issues she just hadn't bargained on . . .
