The Duke, Dorsey arrives from Chicago, half British, half Italian by decent, but a Gangster now in place in his ancestral family home in Sussex. Reeder is installed as his protector, to keep an on him, before the heavies move in.
I enjoyed it, hugely over the top in all ways, the story and acting are as loud as a fireworks display. It's a real culture shock for a refined 1920's society to have gangsters and sawn-off shotguns. It takes a bit of time to get going, but when it does, it's very good, intriguing and a good old fashioned whodunnit.
Ray McAnally and Toby Robins are fun in their respective roles, even if the Chicago accents slip now and then. We get Sir Jason out of The Office and in a Party scene, so worth seeing for that.
Very good. 7/10
