The complete collection of all seven series of the Hammond family saga. Broadcast on BBC One on Sunday nights, it took Britain by storm in the 1970s. The Brothers was a television phenomenon in the late 1970s. Created by the BBC, it ran for seven series between 1972-1976, and surprised audiences with its gripping boardroom drama and engrossing stoytelling. The drama opens with the death of family patriarch Robert Hammond. Tensions run high when the shares in the family's lucrative business, Hammond Transport Services, are split not just between his three sons, but also, shockingly, with his secretary (and mistress) Jennifer Wilson. Edward (Patrick O'Connell/Glyn Owen) is a no-nonsense, well paid accountant who feels he was the most qualified to run the whole business. David (Robin Chadwick) is a disinterested "second-class honours, first-class layaboutÍŸ" arts graduate. Brian (Richard Easton) is a dull accountancy wizard with a controlling wife. Later series introduce ruthless city banker Paul Merroney (Colin Baker), who will stop at nothing to see the Hammond's business succeed, and his equally ambitious rival Jane Maxwell (Kate O'Mara), the tough boss of an air freight business. Join the Hammond family in this absorbing and addictive tale of family tragedy, financial struggle, secrets, lies and betrayal. Written and created by N. J. Crisp (Dixon of Dock Green) and Gerard Glaister (Dr. Finlay's Casebook).
