'Ridley Road': Episode 3 Recap
As the third installment of Ridley Road begins, Vivien is woken by Elise and finds the house is in an uproar with the arrival of Colin Jordan’s glamorous wife, Francoise Dior (Romane Portail), and George Lincoln Rockwell (Stephen Hogan), leader of the American Nazi Party. Although her night with Colin was just one of talking politics, Francoise is verbally and physically aggressive. It’s clear she should return to London. Vivien is shocked when she finds their son Paul taking a gun out of a chest of weapons, and takes him upstairs. She briefly sees Jack from the window.
On the way to the car, Lee, who is married to Elise, confides in Vivien:
I don’t care about the spotlight, swigging champagne with all the lah-di-dahs. I got a baby on the way, haven’t I. When the uprising comes and the leader’s in charge, he promised to buy us a house each, a big house with a garden and that, for our loyalty. Never had nothing that that before, me and Elise.
