Product Description
1950's, Leeds: Betty (Billie Piper) is a wife and mother, whose life is changed forever after falling hopelessly and dangerously in love with her charismatic Polish neighbour, Alex Crazenovski, better known as Craze . Against her principles, she soon abandons herself to a world of untapped thrills and passion, a world that has been so desperately missing from her own conventional and claustrophobic marriage. But 30 years later, an older Betty (Sue Johnston) comes to realise that her compulsive passion of the past and its consequences have created ripples that spill far into the future, finally reaching crisis point on her beloved son s wedding day.

I can't wait for this dvd to be released! Part one was definately not to be missed,i was so engrossed! Part two made me laugh and cry,i felt that i could actually relate to the programme! So many good actors and actresses and well written as always by Kay Mellor,a good title "A Passionate Woman." Highly recommend this to buy!

This is a review of the show as shown on tv.Very good drama at its best and even though this isnt my usual kind of show i did enjoy it very much.The first half of it was well acted and pulled you into the story.The second half which is when Sue Johnston appears in it and plays the lead role is what really entertained me.Great acting as ever from the British legend who makes the charactor so watchable and at times funny but always with a serious side to it.Great drama and i would recommend this to anyone who likes there tv drama's.

I really loved the drama 'A Passionate Woman' I thought the 1st episode was amazing, and was engrosed for the entire 90 minutes, but sadly I missed the 2nd.
I can't wait for it to be released on DVD, so I can see the ending!!
Does anyone know when its going to be released??

When this two-part mini-series first appeared on our screens in 2010 I had no idea at the time that it would change my life forever!
I watched it on BBC iPlayer until it was no longer available, then I sat on the Amazon DVD pre-order list for many months before it finally arrived in February this year.
I'm now out of an unhappy marriage, back to the job I loved, embarking on a life-changing hobby that will see me travelling the world, financially secure and happy with my lot for the first time in years.
Back to being the passionate woman I always was!
All thanks to this!

I must say this really moved me, and I cannot recommend it enough. Billie Piper plays a young married Lady in Leeds who has an affair with a married Polish man. When the Polish man's wife finds out she shoots him dead, subsequently breaking Billie Piper's heart. Billie Piper remains married to her husband, but suffers from depression - which is made worse when her only grown up son announces that he is moving to Australia one he is married. Sue Johnstone plays the older Billie Piper, and on the day of her sons wedding recieves a visit from her lover's wife upon her release from prison.....Have your hankies ready at the end!

I watched episode 1 last night when I found it amongst my old recorded programmes. I loved it, but unfortunately I didn't record episode 2, so now I'm dying to see what happened. Billy Piper was very very good, she is one very versatile actress. Beautifully done.
