His love interest, school headmistress Louisa Glasson, played by Caroline Catz, continues to grapple with Martins abrasive personality as she tries to make sense of their new life together with baby James Henry.

House of Cards - Sunday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m.
For the first time on public television in more than two decades, KCET will present a marathon of BBCs iconic political thriller, House of Cards.

Adapted by Andrew Davies from Michael Dobbs novel, House of Cards debuted on the BBC in 1990 to popular acclaim. The series, which consists of four, 60-minute episodes, follows protagonist Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson), who is the chief whip of the Conservative party. When Margaret Thatcher resigns as leader, he remains neutral and after a general election where the conservatives are returned with a reduced majority, he fully expects the new Prime Minister, Henry Collingridge (David Lyon), to give him his just reward: a senior Cabinet post. When hes informed that he is to stay in his current position, he devises a plot to unseat Collingridge and ensure his own election as party leader and Prime Minister with encouragement from his wife, Elizabeth (Diane Fletcher).
