Top notch drama, as per the BBC, (God Bless 'em). Historically somewhat wide of the mark. It's a pleasure to see Iain Richardson in anything, he is a superb actor & a chance to see him at work should never be missed. It's all good entertaining stuff, even if it is complete hogwash. And you wondered why the best stuff is on PBS ?
