Trailer for British TV series broadcast on BBC, House Of Cards 1990 version
Years before the Netflix remake came out, House Of Cards 1990 was a British drama broadcast on the BBC with an IMDb score of 8.5 that made its mark as one of the greatest political dramas of all time. House Of Cards 1990 version is adapted from the novel of the same name by Michael Dobbs.
The series follows Conservative Party leader Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson) as he devises manipulative schemes to help him become the leader of the ruling Party and eventually aim for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Urquhart was once a "Machiavellian monster" like Frank Underwood, but much more brutal.
