Review
David Brown
1990 depiction of Westminster machinations at their most devious. At the centre of a complex web of intrigue is Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson), a promotion-hungry chief whip with his eyes on getting to No 10.
Netflix later relocated the drama to Washington DC for a US remake, but the British original remains the most devilishly compelling by far.
