When is the next episode of Life on the BBC?
A further viewer praised Peter Davison’s performance with: “Less than ten minutes for new Peter D being amazing on BBC One! I’m so ready for this! #Life.”
Writer Mike Bartlett says he was inspired to create the drama after his own experiences.
Speaking to the BBC, he explained: “I used to live in a flat which was part of an old house that had been divided up, and I was amazed that we were all one stud wall away from each other, but didn’t really know each other.
“We would hear the most intimate details of each other’s sex lives and love lives, and yet you’d meet in the corridor, and you wouldn’t exchange two words.”
He went on to say: “We are desperate for connection, and yet so often we end up feeling alone, particularly in big cities, so I wanted to write about that.”
The second episode of Life will air next Tuesday on BBC One at 9pm.
However, each episode of the series is available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
