First viewed : 11 March 1981
This is a series I should have watched as we were studying the period up to the First World War as party of the O Level History syllabus but the prospect of watching anything with Dad ( who was interested in this period of history ) continually adjusting the volume control was too much to stomach. I did see a small part of it covering the famous incident when LG antagonised a jingoist mob with his denunciation of the Boer War and had to be sneaked out of the meeting hall dressed as a policeman.
Philip Madoc played the mercurial Welshman and the theme tune by Ennio Morricone , Chi Mai, was bought by many more people than watched the series and nearly became the first instrumental number one since Eye Level in 1973.
