Contents
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jared Harris, the series was critically acclaimed with The New York Times calling it "an intriguing drama" and The Guardian "the best TV drama of the year by a nautical mile."
Cumberbatch described the series as "“...a sort of rock and roll 1812 period drama about a young man’s gap year. It’s full of filth, dirt, discovery, sex, drugs, dancing, love, spiritual awakenings and massive sweeping changes!”
Dedication
The Mini-Series was dedicated in memory of the writer, Leigh Jackson, (1950 - 2003).
