The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard

A supermarket manager finds herself at the head of a political movement that sweeps her into office as Britain's prime minister. Thursday at 9 p.m. on PBS-HD. by Colleen Greer

Jane Horrocks stars as Ros Pritchard, a perfect boss and attentive mother hen to her workers at Greengages Superstore in rural Eatanswill. Ros is so frustrated with the state of politics and the caliber of politicians that she runs for election herself, determined to make a point. And what starts as a bit of a joke gathers momentum, with even a couple of heavyweight politicians defecting to her side. The country, previously apathetic in the face of the options available, turn out in their millions and elect Mrs. Pritchard in on a landslide.
