I think the BBC has to show this drama again as it is so underrated. It contains two awesome individual performances from Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardson. Her portrayal of Queen Mary is one of the greatest I have ever seen. A wonderful classic two part series.
shareThis is a magnificant story. It was shown here in the States on PBS in October of last year. Miranda Richardson's performance of Queen Mary was so good that she was nominated for a Golden Globe award. If the BBC doesn't show it again you can buy it from Amazon. I also thought that the two actors who played Prince John were excellent.
shareYes, this film was a throwback to really great filmmaking. Good to see some of us still have the right stuff.
I was glad to see that PBS re-aired the series again recently in the US, as the first time I had to miss the last half of it.
Absolutely. I'm glad I do own it on DVD. It took me some time to find the calm to watch it, but it was worth it. Another breathtaking Poliakoff work.

I watched this again recently and this show just keeps getting better.
There are great performances from some of the cast members.
