Additional InformationPeriod medical drama BREATHLESS opens in 1961, the dawn of the swinging sixties. Set in a gynaecology unit of a London hospital, the action is anchored in an era of social revolt - when the contraceptive pill was only just becoming available to married women, but abortion was still illegal. Jack Davenport stars as highly-respected surgeon Otto Powell, a man treated as a god inside the hospital wards, but struggling to juggle his many secrets outside of them. The super-stylish six-part drama co-stars a wealth of popular British talent including Joanna Page, Sarah Parish, Iain Glen, Ronny Jhutti, Zoe Boyle, Oliver Chris and Natasha Little.
ReviewsThe Telegraph - Writer and director Paul Unwin [...] gave us a drama perfectly pitched between MAD MEN and CALL THE MIDWIFE, from the characters' permanently rouged lips to the opulent dΘcor, old London street scenes and mournful saxophone solos.
