Purchased on Mighty Ape

Brilliant,witty trilogy with brit acting & script writing at their best.

"Excellent storyline."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Even though the saga was written a few years ago, it is not difficult to link events with today's political scenario and theatrics. Acting is superb. Would recommend it to my friends and acquaintances.

"Very good stuff"

A great adaptation. Well acted and written.

Description

BAFTA award winner – the House of Cards BBC TV drama Mini-Series.

The PM made a deadly mistake when he passed over Francis Urquhart. With his recent dire performance in the general election, he's going to need all the friends he can get. But Urquhart won't be ignored by anyone and now he's out for revenge. As the trusted Chief Whip, he has his hands on every grubby little secret in politics, and with innocent journalist Mattie Storin unwittingly drawn into his web, he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants.

A black tale of greed, corruption and burning ambition, based on the best selling novel by Michael Dobbs, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher.

The House of Cards Trilogy Review

“The BBC's House of Cards Trilogy is gripping and mischievous; an irreverent, fictional take on British politics anchored by Ian Richardson's wily Francis Urquhart, who goes from backstabbing Conservative Chief Whip to aging Prime Minster over three accomplished seasons. Urquhart's famous non-denial – "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.” – entered the collective lexicon for good reason: Richardson's per­formance is devilish perfection…This excellent release merits our highest rating: DVD Talk Collector Series."
