The Francis Urquhart Miniseries are a favorite of mine. And each election year, I want to look at it. It was a BBC miniseries and a political action thriller. The leading role was played by Ian Richardson, and he did a surpurb job. He was dynamite.
He is like what you would think a politician would be . A former chief of staff at Conservative Party Headquarters, set at the end of Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
It would be a good thing to go rent this triology. There are three cd's:
HOUSE OF CARDS
TO PLAY THE KING
THE FINAL CUT
