'Jeremy Thorpe' is a familiar name, from the 70s I guess, but I had no idea why ________________ this casually planned 'murder plot in the name of...I'm not sure what", obediently followed by a ring of compliant dupes makes me ever more scared of the current US-WH situation, say no more!!

The sad tale is well told and beautifully acted by Hugh Grant & Co. Poignant performances by the entire cast. Highly recommended for mature audiences.

Not sure how this ended up on Amazon Prime, as I usually don't expect this level of quality for free, but this three part series is truly excellent. Great cast, great story, great writing. Make sure you set enough time to watch all three episodes in one sitting, because you're not going to want to put this one down.

Luckily I was able to watch this all the way thought from start to finish in one sitting. At just under 3 hours, quite an easy feat. Hugh Grant and the superb writing of Russel T Davies made it easy and the time passed like nothing, that to me means it was entertaining, which it was.Hugh Grant puts in a really good performance, well supported by Ben Whishaw, Michele Dotrice (Some Mothers Do Ave Em), Alex Jennings and Adrian Scarborough.I enjoyed every minute of it and laughed more than once even though this is not billed as a comedy, the way it was written told a very serious story in quite an amusing way.There were a few sad moments, but even these were told in an amusing way, not so much funny, but not at all serious or sad, which could be taken as a criticism by some.Every time I saw the hat, I either laughed or smiled, you will have to watch to know what I mean, for me it symbolised the Hugh Grant characters whole attitude of the time.A very entertaining BBC mini series and highly recommended.An easy 9/10.
