Tennant's turn to shine.
Sleepin_Dragon10 August 2018
Another solid episode on this unusual political themed mini series from the BBC.

Part two is all about trust and relationships, the main question being, is Freya playing the long game and ready to twist the knife into Bruce and the Prime minister, or has she genuinely succumbed to the majesty and power the High Office in Westminster provides.

Watson was incredible in the opener, here I thought it was Tennant's turn, you can see the bitterness and rage in his character, an excellent performance. Jack Shepherd and Annamarie Marinca were also excellent.

It didn't perhaps have the bite I'd hoped for, but it's still quality nonetheless. 8/10

Being a fan of Yes, Prime Minister and Yes, Minister, I was drawn to The Politician's Husband and I wasn't disappointed. Episode 2 of this 3 part mini-series is outstanding and keeps you guessing.

It's not for everyone. If you're into wallowing in TV shows with politicians swearing every second beat then stay away please. Anyway, one scene which impressed me was when Freya Gardner (Emily Watson) coveted the Prime Minister's chair in the cabinet room. I don't know how much rehearsal Emily did for it, but that alone was worth a clutch of acting awards.

Perhaps The Politician's Husband can be rebooted with the Politicians played by acclaimed English actor Danny Dyer.
