***MILD Spoiler*** This programme on the life of poor Dr. David Kelly was both tender, appropriate and at times heart-rending. His sad tale was beautifully dramatised and played perfectly by Mark Rylance. The music and the close-up shots of his face were perfectly attuned to the sad overtones of what he went through in the final months of his life.
The crapulence and ignobilty of those around him, particularly Blair and Campbell, was clearly shown. I thought that in particular, showing Tony Blair talking about superficial things and laughing with his cronies on a plane whilst Dr. Kelly was committing suicide was particularly fitting.
By the conclusion, I was almost moved to tears at the tragic waste of his life. He was truly a martyr for the truth.
