This is a true story. Such is the title sequence of this series. Not 'this is based on a true story' but this is the truth. In that it differs from accounts where the events portrayed are rewritten or invented for dramatic purposes. We know it's the truth as much of what is portrayed has been examined in a court of law.
I can't say this was an easy watch. I was screaming at the TV at one point. But I want to thank those responsible for bringing this to the attention of the general public. It was absolutely riveting.
But any dramatisation was understated and let the tragic story tell itself. All of the actors were wholly believable even if the sorry tale left you incredulous. Even a cameo appearance by Nadhim Zahawi MP (playing himself) was utterly convincing and drew you into the very tense scene of the committee room.
Ultimately, this is a desperately sad but unfortunately real account of a frightening miscarriage of justice. People died, lives were destroyed as a result of decisions made by senior managers of a company wholly owned by the British Government.
I won't spoil anything but watch it. Watch it closely. Then write to your MP.
