Years and Years: The Limited Series

Follow the hopes, fears and joys of an ordinary British family over the course of 15 years in the funny, frightening and provocative six-part series Years and Years. As Britain withdraws from Europe, America becomes a lone wolf and China asserts itself, the world is rocked by a flurry of unstable political, economic, cultural and technological advances. It's a world in which no one can tell political right from left -- as evidenced by the rise to power of Vivienne Rook (two-time Academy Award winner* Emma Thompson), a brash entrepreneur whose say-anything style makes her as appealing as she is controversial. Full of wit and warmth, Years and Years is ultimately about family, showing the relatable struggles of surviving the day to day as society changes faster than ever before. The series was created and written by Russell T Davies (Queer as Folk, The Second Coming, the 2005 revival of Doctor Who).
