An account of the colourful life of the infamous British fascist Oswald Mosely, concentrating on the period between the end of WW1 and his imprisonment at the beginning of WW2. Written by Simon Shearn <simon@frieth.demon.co.uk>
This is a gripping account of a person not well known outside the U.K., Oswald "Tom" Mosley, and his rise and fall in British politics.
Jonathan Cake is magnetic -- he takes on Mosley's persona and exposes his fatal flaws, bit by bit. Jemma Redgrave is heartbreaking, and the rest of the cast is superb.
I knew nothing of Mosley before viewing this series, but found it compelling. It is a first rate production. Pick it up if you can.
