I was responding to your comment but the recommendation was more directed at Ped. I'm aware you don't seem to like the BBC version, but I think she might. If it's confusing or annoying her with all the politics, I was just pointing out that, in general, the BBC version doesn't rely quite as heavily on that as apparently the US one does. Put Urquhart in any other sphere, any place of power - corporation, union boss, police commissioner, general, pope - he would act the same, and so it's more about the man than about the position or the politics.
