GBH

It takes a while to get involved in this complicated tale of British politics, but the effort is worth it. Robert Lindsay is absolutely fascinating to watch as the egomaniacal Labour party leader as he tries to mold the country to his vision of what it should be, but it’s Michael Palin’s dramatic turn as the emotionally troubled school administrator who stands up to him that steals the film. (Palin’s commentary on Episode 1 is well worth your time, too.)
