TV Preview: White Heat + Q&A

The lives and loves of seven young people sharing a flat in 1960s London.

Scripted by award-winning writer Paula Milne (Small Island, The Fragile Heart), White Heat concerns seven characters who share a student flat in London in 1965. The serial explores their interwoven lives, loves and betrayals, set against the social and political backcloth of Wilson through Thatcher, via feminism, hedonism, union strife, the Falklands and HIV to the present day. It explores how our lives are shaped by the choices we make, which are governed by the opportunities society affords us.

We are delighted to announce that joining Paula Milne on the panel will be cast members Sam Claflin (Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, United) and Claire Foy (Little Dorrit, The Promise) and director John Alexander (Small Island, Exile). Chaired by BBC Controller of Drama, Ben Stephenson.
