Superb story writing, great lineup of first class actors and plots to keep you coming back. Led by the late, great Ian Richardson, does Machiavellian arch baddies get any better than this?! Politics has never appealed so much as in this satirical feast of wrong doings. Five star all the way!!

I remember being impressed with this in the 80s, so after watching the US version, I wanted to remind myself of the original. Sadly I don't think the production has stood the test of time and I was disappointed. For all Spacey's transgressions, he is a damned fine actor.

Absolutely amazing series this one. I watched house of cards the American version with Kevin Spacey a few years ago and really enjoyed that one. A few months ago I stumbled on the original British version on amazon prime where the first three episodes were free. After watching these I just had to watch the rest of the trilogy & managed to find the DVD of the whole Trilogy on Ebay. Ian Richardson plays an absolutely brilliant part as Francis Urquhart whose character becomes the British prime minister. Judge for yourself if this is true British politics. I could not possibly comment! 😉

This is a bit dated but that doesn't matter because the story is engaging and extremely well acted. It's a pity we don't have more programmes like this today. Well worth watching.

The only info on the individual discs is in such tiny writing round the middle that we watch the wrong side first! Very unsatisfactory. Even 1A, 1B in bold would help.

Excellent stuff. I haven't dabbled with the version from USA but I remember this when it was first shown and enjoy again. Ian Richardson and the way he plays to camera is particularly good. I hugely enjoyed the cast talking segment of these DVDs.

A wonderful trilogy with a gripping story line and with superb acting. Ian Richardson at his best as a scheming ruthless MP. Excellent supporting actors. Although filmed in the late 90s (I think) it could well reflect what could happen today! A must view DVD

Very good viewing, sadly the final dvd does not run to the end it sticks about 5 minutes from the finale Pity

A brilliant series that I remembered from the 1990's. Apart from things like no or few mobile phones, it hasn't dated - perhaps reflecting the nature of politicians, whatever the era.

Bought as a present, but remember the TV series. Excellent. Product yet to be tried.
