Yes, I watched it recently, as a matter of fact. It was a British TV production, so if you are looking for gore, you're not going to find it here. The plot is servicable and most of the cast do a creditable job, the best being Kingsley & Lumley, of course.

There are some interesting glimpses into British society of the time, as well. It's worth a watch.
