Paula Milne's White Heat commissioned for BBC Two

From award-winning writer Paula Milne (Endgame, Small Island, The Virgin Queen), White Heat has been commissioned by BBC Two.


What's it about?

The ambitious new six-part drama series follows the interwoven lives, loves and betrayals of seven characters whose relationships are forged in the white heat of the Sixties through to present day.

Passionate, dangerous and compelling, the characters' love stories and friendships are set against a backdrop that takes us from Wilson to Thatcher, feminism to the Falklands, hedonism to HIV - exploring the personal and political journeys which shaped their destinies to make them the people they are today.

What should we expect?

BBC Two channel controller Janice Hadlow said: "White Heat is a picture of Britain through the experiences of a group of young people, as they look back at the way the world made them."
