About this item

Ian Richardson plays greed-stricken mastermind Francis Urquhart in the newly remastered House of Cards original UK series, on DVD on 2/5! Adapted for the screen by Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House), House of Cards is a spell-binding dissection of naked ambition, greed and rampant hypocrisy in the corridors of power. The series documents in thrilling detail the rise of Tory Chief Whip Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson, Dark City, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), a man with unwavering contempt for those with "no background, no bottom.” With the downfall of Margaret Thatcher, a bitter internecine power struggle ensues within the Conservative Party. Urquhart schemes more devilishly than Iago to depose Thatcher's colorless John Major-style successor. And even Machiavelli would baulk at Urquhart's methods. Any and every act—including murder—is legitimate and the ends very much justify the means. Bonus Content: * Commentary for Ep 1 of each season from screenwriter Andrew Davies and star Ian Richardson * Andrew Davies on "To Play The King" controversy * TBC: Westminster Behind Closed Doors With Tony Benn
