In the third and final episode of The Pursuit of Love, events take a sudden and tragic turn (spoiler alert!); just when everything seems to be going well, the subject of the story – Lily James’s Linda Radlett – dies in childbirth. It’s an abrupt ending, even more so because her death takes place off-screen.

Our narrator Fanny Logan (Emily Beecham) returns sombrely from hospital, bringing both her newborn and Linda’s newborn back to Alconleigh. And then that’s that, really. The story wraps up with Fanny and Alfred adopting Linda’s son. Lord Merlin (Andrew Scott) mopes in the distance, and then quietly adopts (or rather, is adopted by) Linda’s French Bulldog.
Lily James dazzled viewers with her portrayal of Linda Radlett in Sunday night s first episode of The Pursuit Of Love.
And the show s racy tone was soon set as the opening scene, which gave viewers a glimpse of the future, saw Lily sunbathing naked and pregnant before a bomb fell on her London home.
The actress, 32, was also seen stripping naked to frolic in the bath with her co-star Emily Beecham, who plays her cousin and pal Fanny, with their conversation soon turning a little raunchy.
