4 stars (Very Good) A very fine historical drama. ~Sandy
5 stars (Exceptional) One of the better historical dramas ~emjay
5 stars (Exceptional) A superb cast and performances plus quality writing and production values make it a must see. The sparring between McKern and Scofield is worth it alone. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) The witty dialogue was by Robert Bolt (Lawrence of Arabia); & the fine soundtrack music was by a Frenchman - the great Georges Delerue, notably accompanying the title sequence of a courier's progress via the Thames to deliver a message. ~EdMorbius
