This is a fantastically written and fantastically acted piece. From Trevor Griffiths, from Brian Cox and Sinead Cusack, as well as the supporting cast.

The range of the honesty, the beauty, and the pain.

The pacing is perfect, taking all the time it needs to honour both Nye Bevan and Jennie Lee as people, not only politicians.

The line 'oh god why did you make your world so beautiful and the life of man so short' resonates (though nowadays I guess we'd say 'humans' not just man). I'd thought it must be Dylan Thomas or someone ... no, Trevor Griffiths. And throughout, there's a strong, quiet poetry.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
