Prioritize:
Just a tad weaker than the previous episode. Still, I had a great time. Medieval politics were tricky, but King Richard navigated them like a pro. Miriam Margolyes was excellent as Nadezhda Krupskaya in Stalin - every time I saw her, I remembered her role as the Spanish Infanta, which had me cracking up. Jim Broadbent was fantastic in his role too.
