Dominic West (The Wire, The Devil’s Whore) will star as straight-talking Australian scientist Professor Howard Florey in Breaking The Mould, a BBC Drama Production for BBC Four, it was announced today.
It is widely recognised that Alexander Fleming was the man who discovered penicillin but the truth is a bit more complicated than that – and the extraordinary story of Professor Florey is hardly known.
Set against the backdrop of John F Kennedy’s 45th birthday party, and rumours of an appearance by Marilyn Monroe, the office is buzzing with other news – Joan’s engagement, the arrival of Don’s stunning new secretary, Jane, and a visit from celebrity comedian Jimmy Barrett – as the provocative multi-award-winning American drama continues.
The sexy, stylised, provocative and multi award-winning drama Mad Men makes a welcome return to BBC Four on Tuesday 10 February.
Created by Emmy Award-winning executive producer Matthew Weiner, Mad Men delves into the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Sixties advertising agency Sterling Cooper – a place where power struggles, hard drinking and clandestine sexual exploits define the workplace and close the deals.
Following on from the huge success of Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe, BBC Four has commissioned Zeppotron, an Endemol company to produce a brand new series- Charlie Brooker’s News Wipe.
The aim of the Charlie Brooker’s News Wipe is to expose the inner workings of news media, just as Screen Wipe does to TV in general. The series will be a funny, thoughtful and scabrous digest of recent news events. News Wipe will take a look at the brilliant or preposterous way the news is presented to us.
