House of Cards

Continuing our series discussing British political dramas of film and TV, host Ciaran is joined by Editors Michael and Sam to discuss House of Cards a 1990 BBC drama centring on the machiavellian rise of Francis Urquhart, the Tory Chief Whip passed over for a promotion to high office after the resignation of Margaret Thatcher. We discuss; what does ethical parliamentary whipping look like? Why has the British House of Cards endured and the American remake aged poorly? And will Sebastian Payne ever win selection for a Tory seat?
