 +===== House Of Cards 1990 =====
 +
 +House of Cards is based on a BBC drama of the same name that aired in 1990. However, it was just a four-episode series, maybe because British political intrigue isn't nearly as convoluted and is usually resolved over a cup of tea.[([[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098825/|imdb]])]
 +
 +===== Michael Dobbs =====

 +The UK House of Cards was adapted from a novel by Michael Dobbs, who was Margaret Thatcher's chief of staff from 1986 to 1987 and the Conservative Party's deputy chairman from 1994 to 1995.[([[https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/219913|academic]])]

Allen said that he would love to collaborate with him on a project. There's more political wrangling going on.[([[https://www.thedigitalhash.com/interesting-facts-from-house-of-cards/|thedigitalhash]])]

 +
 +===== Location =====

 +
 +===== Kevin Spacey Injury =====
 +
 +Kevin Spacey injured his hand while carrying a burning flag while filming advertising stills. In episode nine of the third season, he "conveniently" burnt his palm with coffee and had to wear a bandage to cover it up.[([[https://www.thedigitalhash.com/interesting-facts-from-house-of-cards/|thedigitalhash]])]
