Boris J. Axelford is more machine than man in the way he runs his successful electronics business. That is, until the arrival of Angel Roper as his temporary secretary. Creating chaos and mayhem with her every move, Angel turns Mr. Axelford's ordered life upside down in a matter of minutes! Mr. Axelford's Angel is an enchanting, life-affirming story with Julia Foster (Alfie) starring as the delightfully irrepressible Angel, and the multi-award winning Michael Bryant (Gandhi, Hamlet) as the stolid Boris Axelford. It won an International Emmy Award for the Best Fiction Programme in New York in 1974, and a BAFTA nomination for Michael Bryant.
