Dominic West from The Wire and Helena Bonham Carter take on the iconic movie-star roles of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor for this BBC-4 import, presented tonight by BBC America.

For full reviews, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes – and my own review on today’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR.
