Season 1 of Prince Regent premiered on September 4, 1979.

The life and times of George (1762-1830), Prince of Wales, from his early days of debauchery to his ascent to the throne as George IV. His two marriages (one legal, one not), his mistresses, the famous men of his day: all the over-indulgence and frustration of waiting for his father George III to die or remain mad.
