Don’t miss “the next great British drama” as BBC America’s Dramaville presents all new series WHITE HEAT *** Premiering Wednesday May 9 at 10pm/9c ***
See five decades of history through the eyes of the generation that shaped it. WHITE HEAT charts the lives of seven friends from 1965 through the present, connecting the dots of their relationships born, bound and broken over time and ultimately reunited after the death of one of them.
Their friendships – complex, volatile, life affirming and life changing — are first formed when they come together as flatmates in London’s Tufnell Park. The diverse group of young students includes rebel with a cause Jack (Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman), ambitious feminist Charlotte (Claire Foy, Upstairs Downstairs), fragile beauty Lilly (MyAnna Buring, The Twilight Saga), compassionate medical student Jay (Reece Ritchie, The Lovely Bones), love-struck geek Alan (Lee Ingleby, Luther), Jamaican-born-and-bred law student Victor (David Gyasi, Law and Order: UK) and kind-hearted Orla (Jessica Gunning, Law & Order: UK).
Their interwoven personal lives play out against the backdrop of defining points of the developing eras – the death of Churchill, the union strife of the Seventies, the ascendancy of Thatcher, the Falklands, AIDS, the end of the Cold War — crucial events which shaped history and made these seven individuals the people they are today.
WHITE HEAT is created & written by Paula Milne (I Dreamed of Africa, The Night Watch).
