Disraeli is the name of a four-part series, made for ATV in 1978, about the great statesman. Written by David Butler, produced by Cecil Clarke, directed by Claude Whatham, it stars Ian Mc Shane (Disraeli), Mary Peach (Mary Anne), Rosemary Leach (Queen Victoria), and Anton Rodgers (George Bentick). It focused on Disraeli's personal life as much as it did on his political persona.
