The trailer forms part of a series of promotions for shows that form the latest British Original Drama campaign that will run throughout the London Olympics coverage over the coming seventeen days; as well as Doctor Who, the list includes Merlin, Hunted, Good Cop, Accused, The Secret of Crickley Hall, The Paradise, Ripper Street, plus the stalwart soap Eastenders. The ‘series’ of trailers kick off from the 28th July with a special “Bundle” compilation.
Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning said:
BBC One drama offers audiences the most vibrant and most original home grown drama in Britain today. This upcoming range of new drama titles are the very best of British, made with ambition and scale that I hope will capture the imagination of our audiences with the same spirit as the London 2012 Olympics.
