The Life and Times of David Lloyd George

If anyone says the BBC has never made a drama series to beat the rest, I would remind them of this incredibly spellbinding series first screened in 1981. It's the very detailed account of arguably Great Britain's greatest Prime Minister of the 20th century and to date, the finest politician from the valleys of Wales. Rarely for a historical drama, this series was historically correct in every detail from the harsh school discipline of his childhood through the challenges of the Irish problems, First World War and its aftermath. If you're a budding historian, politician or someone who appreciates quality historical drama in all its greatness, this is the definitive must-see. Superb acting from Philip Madoc and a now classical spellbinding theme music by the master of film soundtrack, Enrico Moricone are brought together into a series you'll want to watch in perfect uninterrupted seclusion. Yes folks! It really is that perfect and worthy of an Oscar any day.
