House of Cards viewers watched in fascinated horror as Chief Whip Francis Urquhart maneuvered his way to the top political job in the land, ruthlessly taking advantage of his nice-guy reputation and naive young journalist Mattie Storin, whom he seduced and eventually had to kill to ensure her silence.

But as well as a new Prime Minister, the country also has a new King – a liberal who seems determined to oppose Urquhart at every turn.

2 p.m.
Episode 1
 Francis Urquhart is now triumphantly installed in No 10 as Prime Minister, but uneasy at the memory of Mattie Storin, the young journalist he murdered on his way to the top. He is also facing criticism from an unexpected source. The newly crowned King is appalled by his unfeeling, materialistic policies. However, Urquhart has lost none of his relish for the fight.

3 p.m.
Episode 2
 The King is insisting that politicians should have the interests of the populace more at heart. For appearances sake, Urquhart pretends to take a more temperate stance towards the King’s attack on his policies.

4 p.m.
Episode 3
 The antagonism between King and Prime Minister develops into full confrontation as Urquhart accuses the King of trying to organize a bloodless coup against the Government.

5 p.m.
Episode 4
 Urquhart gives the King an ultimatum which could change the history of the British Monarchy.

House of Cards: To Play The King Marathon, Sunday 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on PBS 6.
