Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Ultra-reserved head butler Hudson (Gordon Jenkins) shocks the Bellamy household when he falls in love with under-housemaid Lily (Karen Dotrice, who at 22 is more than half his age. Despite the remonstrations of Rose (Jean Marsh), Hudson is willing to face the consequence of his May-December romance. There is only problem: Lily may not be in love with him. Written by Alfred Shaughnessy, "Disillusion" first aired in England on October 19, 1975, and in the United States on February 27, 1977.
