Written by BAFTA TV Award winning writer Paula Milne (The Politician’s Wife), White Heat is a new drama series about the interwoven lives, loves and betrayals of seven characters whose relationships are forged in the white heat of the sixties through to the present day. The series follows them over four decades as their lives, loves and destinies are shaped by the political events of each era–from the death of Churchill, the union strife of the Seventies, the ascendancy of Thatcher, the Falklands, Aids, the end of the Cold War to the present day. Their intertwined personal lives played against the backcloth of these crucial events converge to make them the people they are today.
