Mentorn International’s new drama, The Politician’s Husband, starring David Tennant and Emily Watson,
will be one of the must-see properties at MIPCOM 2012 next month.
The production company will include the three part drama
among the titles that Managing Director David Leach and sales executives are
presenting to the international market at the event that takes place in Cannes
from 8th – 11th October. This follows the news that BBC
Worldwide will also be offering The Spies
Of Warsaw to international broadcasters.
Mentorn International
on The Politician’s Husband
The Politician's Husband is a drama exploring what
happens in a political marriage when the wife becomes more successful than her
husband.
Aiden Hoynes, a senior Cabinet Minister, is happily married
to Freya, a junior Minister who has consistently put her own career ambitions
on hold for the sake of Aiden's career and their family.
When Aiden's career path to the top echelons comes to an
abrupt halt, the power balance within his marriage is irrevocably shifted as he
witnesses his wife's political career soar.
In his desperation to cling to power, Aiden risks
destroying everything he holds most dear.
The drama is written by Paula Milne and directed by Simon
Cellan Jones, and will be seen on BBC Two early next year.
MIPCOM, held every year in Cannes, is the world's
leading content market for creating, co-producing, buying, selling, financing
and distributing entertainment across all platforms. It is attended by
worldwide entertainment distributors who aim to launch and sell programmes and
expand them to new platforms.
Mentorn also ran a small ad for The Politician’s Husband in some press and we have a scan of the promo
shot featuring David Tennant and Emily Watson. We’ll bring you a better quality
copy as soon as we can, but in the meantime:
