Classic TV at it’s best!
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!! Read full review

Dated style
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.Read full review

House of cards Trilogy
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! 😉Read full review

Engaging & well acted
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.

Needs bigger and clearer info on disc.
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.

The original UK version is excellent
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.Read full review

Entertaining and edge of the seat stuff
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 DVDRead full review

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

Well worth viewing
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.
