True Patriot was one of the best BBC2 plays!

Michael York is an excellent actor and this real life German wartime hero was a very different role for him. But he played it very well, a brave character who opposed Hitler during WW2 and it was an excellent drama and one of the best in the BBC2 Play of The Week series.
