First Among Equals

A great drama from Granada, the story of 4 MP's from the late seventies into the 80's and their careers as they strive to become 'first among equals'.

It's well shot, with some excellent acting, especially from Tom Wilkinson and James Faulkner with the ever dependable Jeremy Child and David Robb completing the quartet.

The music by Richard Harvey is a banger and it's an engrossing TV series for those of us who like their political dramas with a little reality and dollops of good old fashioned plot.
