As soon as the music starts you know this isn't going to be a dour, miserable drama, and the proclamation about things being dramatised, means it isn't going to be historically accurate , but none of that matters a jot, this is pure entertainment! Makes such a change from the number of dark dramas on TV these days.
The character of Stonehouse is wonderfully played by Matthew McFadyen, sometimes you despair at how unaware of his own ridiculousness he is, but then the next minute, you're rooting for him!
The ever dependable Keeley Hawes is excellent as the hard done to, but ever loyal wife.
Have to say the entire thing just flew by for me, which is always a good sign , and I'll certainly rewatch in the future.
