Although it has all the limitations of its age, being made in the late seventies, this is a good series. Peter Egan conveys all the charm mixed with over-weening vanity and egotism of the central role, and there is good support especially from Nigel Davenport as a tortured but noble George III and Dinah Stabb as the wild Princess Caroline. Although most settings are indoors with very little external filming, it is fairly appropriate for the story of this lover of art and buildings. With eight episodes there is room for decent treatment of key episodes - although there is relatively little on the period after George became a (very undistinguished) king.
