This is a rather odd documentary on the hereditary peers in the House of Lords made by the Canadian filmmaker Molly Dineen. The hereditaries were removed from the House in 1999, with the exception of a rump of 92 who remained under a deal struck between the Conservative Lords leader Lord Cranborne and the Labour Government (which opposed the making of the film).
