Mosley: The Complete Series [DVD]

Jonathan Cake, Jemma Redgrave and Hugh Bonneville lead an outstanding cast in this mini-series tracing the turbulent political career and tempestuous private life of Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists during the 1930s. Over four episodes the series charts Mosley’s rise to political notoriety through his personal life – from youthful rising star of the Conservative Party to potential leader of the Labour Party, and later abandonment of conventional party politics to become a figurehead of burgeoning fascism. This set comprises the complete series, scripted by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran – BAFTA-winning creators of The New Statesman, Birds of a Feather and Love Hurts – and based on two volumes of biography written by Mosley’s son, Nicholas Mosley, who also acted as consultant.
