Instead, they are just skipping straight to the fifth episode, which will air this Thursday

(So the episode that we’re going to see is the one with the “angels”)

Clips from episode four that are relevant to character…

Kevin Spacey plays Frank Underwood, a post-Foucauldian nightmare of rational action and game theory in an American remake of a British miniseries from 1990, House of Cards. What’s bizarre is that the book that the show is based on (after Macbeth) is by Michael Dobbs, a British Conservative politician, previous adviser to Margaret Thatcher, and an ex-Saatchi and Saatchi deputy chairman. So the cut throat, power-mad, game-theory capitalist rationality (often known as Thatcherism) of the main character can’t be far from Dobbs’ personal experience. And it seems to be enduring the most brutal of critiques. But that must be an imposition of my own, based on the assumption that murder is wrong; I suppose I should just be enjoying how damn rational everyone is.

Dobbs’ bizarre website has this to say: “Twenty five years ago I found myself beside a swimming pool in a foul mood. I was bruised and sulking from a brutal encounter with Maggie Thatcher, so I sat down with a writing pad and a bottle of wine and began scribbling some thoughts. Three bottles later I discovered I had an idea for a book. The concept was based around a character with two initials – FU.”
I imagine this is the template for most novels by conservative politicians - Boris bruised by David after a gentle tussle in the gents that got out of hand, Jeffrey Archer having a tearful spat with John Major about his perjury and running away to prison to write a novel about it - but I’m wondering where the Labour party’s novelists are. They must be busy with something else.
