Trivia

Although the series was completed, the BBC held back broadcast in 2019 because it was felt unwise to show an historical drama presenting a political scandal during national election campaign. The series was moved from summer to autumn schedules. With the British general election finally called for December 12 2019, the series could finally be scheduled for the New Year season.

Crazy Credits

The main characters were not listed in the closing credits. Instead the actors (but not their character names) were listed in the opening titles, and the closing credits only listed the minor characters.

Good telling of an important story

Some of these reviews bewilder me. The story is well,and accurately told and beautifully acted. It really catches the spirit of the time, a time I remember.
