Camilla was unrecognizable (though I've never met him so can't be sure!!)
The best episode in my book in this season was "Fagan". The best in the series - possibly "Aberfan". One of the best portrayals was Harold Wilson. Gave much more depth to him than most people saw at the time.
I've also just finished "Queen's Gambit". Not bad, but lost its way a bit and too stylized an interpretation of the 50s and 60s, visually, for me.
