The Charles bit on its own might have been good, except the other story elements just leave it very far fetched. More science fiction than fiction.

what a load of old rubbish.wish there was a rental option wouldn't feel so bad. would have made a good political thriller without the other stuff.

I found the film, literally base on play, to be thought provoking, and delivered with great solemn and dignity by the late Timothy Pigott-Smith. Mike Bartlett has delivered a good screenplay.
