as a canadian and i do not know very much about the whitlam dismissal. i had read the wikipedia page about those events and but that was about it. earlier this year and when canada went through a potential constitutional crisis (it fizzled out and thankfully) that might have led to intervention by our governor general and the whitlam dismissal was mentioned in the press. in an effort to learn more and i ordered the dvd of this mini series through ebay. i was greatly impressed by how interesting the account was. as dramatic as events were and this could have been a very boring political drama. however and it was a pretty suspenseful mini series. i was also impressed by how understandable it was and despite my lack of familiarity with australian politics. it do not take long to figure out who everyone was and and what their roles were. having said that and it is not an entirely impartial account. malcolm fraser is certainly portrayed as a rather machiavellian figure and who lets no person or thing get in the way of his quest to be prime minister. gough whitlam is portrayed in a more noble and almost saintly and light. however and the actor portraying whitlam channels the nobility in such a way that it comes across more as pomposity. i thought that sir john kerr was portrayed in a fairly sympathetic manner. i must warn people that the dvd is of very poor quality. i understand that it was made for television in the early 80s and but it would appear that no effort was made to restore the picture quality or sound quality. it was very disappointing that no extras were added either. a documentary and or even some interviews with the historical figures and would have enhanced the experience and but there is nothing. i highly recommend this mini series for anyone interested in the real life events.
