The original, six hour journalism/conspiracy thriller absolutely zips along without ever a single dull moment thanks to Paul Abbott's screenplay, Yates and editor Mark Day's presentation, and a fantastic ensemble cast. On the Herald we have John Simm, Kelly Macdonald, Bill Nighy (who provides most of the laughs), a young James McEvoy, Amelia Bullmore, Benedict Wong and Tom Burke.
David Morrissey is the PM, Polly Walker his wife. Philip Glenister and Sean Gilder represent the boys in blue and Marc Warren is way out of his depth (ultimately believably pathetic).
Day has accompanied Yates on everything and they're finishing Tarzan and the Harry Potter prequel.
