This is one of the real gems from the BFI's BBC DVD releases, the kind of one-off drama that could never be made in this modern age.
A complex and elusive drama of how history, despite being ever-shifting and ever-changing repeats itself, this is deserving of the over-used phrase original.
with non-realistic dialogue, more theatrical than many viewers might be used to, it is a brave and rewarding experiment and well worth your time if you are truly seeking something different, edifying and illuminating.
Bravo to the BFI for making it available again and shame on current TV executives for turning their backs on such definition-defying material.
