Breathless opens in 1961, a time when Britain was on the brink of the ‘60s revolution – abortion is illegal and the contraceptive pill is only just available to married women. Set in and around a busy gynecology unit, medicine becomes the perfect stage to play out the shifting and complex moral codes of early 1960s society. The show stars Jack Davenport (Smash, Pirates of the Caribbean) as a brilliant surgeon who believes he can make a difference in women’s' lives. Breathless follows the lives of a group of doctors and nurses working in a London hospital, a world in which everything and everyone has their place. But underneath this veneer simmers a cauldron of lies and guilty secrets, driven by love, ambition and sex. Other cast members include Zoe Boyle and Iain Glen of Downton Abbey and Natasha Little (Any Human Heart, Case Histories).
