Watching the titles of this drama and hearing the music, I was reminded of Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, but once I got past that, I found a strange but compelling tale that is so well played.
The pairing of MacFadyan and Hawes as John Stonehouse and his long suffering wife was superb. She had the tough job playing the dutiful wife of a prominent politician who had to cope with her husband's infidelity while trying to keep the children happy.
However, in my mind, Kevin McNally as Harold Wilson steals the show in every scene he is in.
It is not the truth, but one version of the truth and for that, it deserves a watch.
