Airdate: Any Human Heart

W will air the BAFTA award–winning miniseries Any Human Heart, based on the novel by William Boyd.

Starring Jim Broadbent, Gillian Anderson, Matthew Macfadyen, Sam Claflin and Kim Cattrall, looking at novelist Logan Mountstuart’s life from 1920s Paris to ’50s New York and ’80s London. Along the way he meets Ernest Hemingway, Ian Fleming and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (aka Wallis Simpson).

This is a 4 part 2010 drama.

Told through Logan’s intimate journals, beginning with the idealism and arrogance of his youth, through the triumphs and tragedies of middle-age, to the unexpected dramas of his twilight years – his story reveals that all our lives are ultimately random, and defined by luck and seemingly inconsequential choices.

Thursdays from June 7 at 9.30pm on W.
