I found the U.S. version of House of Cards a few months ago - liked it. Looked for and found the BBC version (1990-1994) which was the first series based off a set of books.
Aside from the series being 20+ years old, the storyline is as compelling as the U.S. version, though, as some of the storylines are parallel, it is possible to guess some of the plot points. The other issue is that the characters are, on the whole, older than the U.S. version, so it takes a little getting used to.
Definitely worth the watch, but you might want to wait until the conclusion of the U.S. series should there be other parallel outcomes.
