Starting t tonight on BBC 1 is Roadkill. Starring Hugh Laurie as a government minister who his past is catching up with him. It is written by David Hare the playwright whose work for the cinema has seen him nominated for 2 Oscars for The Hours and The Reader. Roadkill getting a BBC 1 is a rare event for Hare as you have to go to the early 1980s and the days of the much revered Play for Today single drama strand. Despite starring such big names as John Thaw, Christopher Walken ans John Simm Hare's TV output has been just been on BBC 2. Will Hugh's star power bring in the viewers, we just have to see.
