    Anyone catch this tonight. Its the usual HBO / BBC high quality.

    Great acting, and looks like they have put the cash into it.

    I passed, saw the trailer and thought it cheesy.

    Was this a one off or a proper series?

    Was talked into watching House of Saddam last night. Brilliant show from start to finish. I missed the first two, does anybody out there know when repeats of this show will be on.

    You only missed the first part. No idea on when it will be repeated.

    I dunno I watched the first part and I had mixed feelings. First I thought good for the Beeb taking the subject on in the first place. Then I thought the show was well acted and looks beautiful. But I also felt, like Mike65 said, it was a bit cheesy. For example, the leading actors portrayal of Saddam was too caricatured, with not enough subtlety or nuance.
