Jean Price is the newly elected, somewhat rebellious Labour MP for an inner-city constituency, and her life in the House of Commons. She's married to Geoff Price, a public defender and carer of many household chores so that Jean can pursue her new career. Jean balances her personal life with parliamentary duties, including 'women's issues', which Jean alternately fights for and is frustrated by, as other MPs think she cares about nothing else due to her gender. She often is surprised by others' duplicity and hypocrisy, holding them to a significantly higher standard.
Jean Price MP is new to the House of Commons and not yet familiar with its ways – she's also desperate to get home in reasonable time for her husband's birthday.
Aired: 2/7/1990Jean feels that the time has come for her to make her first speech in the house. She also feels the pressure to make it a good one – but could that be a big mistake?
