Yeah, Brits are great to play bad guys, the accent shows how scary he is.

I call Ian Richardson's FU "bastard one"

The original British "House of Cards"/"To Play the King"/"The Final Cut" series is way better than the American version. But "Yes, Minister!" and "Yes, Prime Minister!" are far more terrifying than "House of Cards". Can you imagine the clash between Francis Urquhart as PM and his Civil Service Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby? Or, even worse, their alliance? These men could conquer, destroy and rebuild an empire in a week. And with a nice smile at that.

absolutely agree. as we are seeing now, the real terrifying aspect of politics is the vicious interplay between ambitious politicians and scheming, dark civil servants.

I think the fact that by its very nature the PM is not officially head of state and yet holds the cards makes the entire thing already carry an air of subterfuge. I really wish I could be a fly on the wall when the Queen gives the PM her handshake and her government. If I ever became the PM of the UK I would probably give the Queen the most sarcastic ass kissing imaginable. "Of course your majesty, I will do my very best to govern your government. I look forward to hearing your speeches from the throne. Please send me a written copy!"

The British invented betrayal. not the Italians, the British. Out of necessity. You know, the Danes'n'stuff, back in the day. They also mastered the ambition way. Not the Romans, they were merely amateurs. BTW I'm not British, just an observer & I can impossibly comment this.

Francis was a great character and Richardson a delight to watcha!

Imagine a world where Underwood is President of the USA and Urquhart is PM of Great Britain...

I'd honestly almost prefer that... if the world is going to go down in flames, I'd rather it was due to competent evil than incompetent idiocy. There's more dignitiy in being killed by a proper villain than by some ludicrous jackass.

This show was ahead of its time I would be eating this show up if I was alive and grown up while it first aired This looks way better than typical 90s television, especially compared to the U.S.

Ian Richardson is awesome. I classify actors in 3 categories : The one who have no face, those who have one face or those with three faces. Think about it. And our Ian is one of the scarcest: He's actually got three faces. Especially when you include his stage work. Plus this awesome Hamlet version "House of Cards". I'd love to have a chat with him, unfortunately difficult these days, so I've heard. I put him in the same drawer as Daniel Day Lewis, even above him. Awesome actor. But I can't possibly comment this.

Mattie was delightful on screen

What an actor

Only a dyed in the wool Shakespearean actor like Ian Richardson could play Francis Urquhart to perfection. Lady Macbeth isn't bad either.

I saw this on PBS thirty years ago.I caught the first episode by accident.I was hooked.Francis E.was the most dangerous man in politics since Donald Trump, although ,a helluva lot smarter.

Watched this, after the supreme court's damning judgement on the governments decision to prorogue parliament.

Charles Dance as this character 🔥🔥

House of cards version of u.k is Classic...

At 3:40, he enters room 322 which is most likely a reference to the secret society Skull & Bones for those who are really in the know.

underrated comment

Just hearing the American theme makes me think of forced bisexual trysts and third wave feminism.

We in the US have no actors to equal Ian Richardson and his ilk. The only American actor I admire is Tom Hanks, who plays a different character in each film. He was in Sully (lands plane on Hudson River) and Bridge of Spies with Mark Rylance as a Russian spy.

What is this? I could possibly comment here?
