Sky Arts 1 certainly got a impressive cast for its four-part mini-series A Young Doctor’s Notebook, with Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe both signed up to play older and younger versions of the same character (we won’t bother wondering how 5ft 5in Radcliffe grew into 6ft Hamm over the years). Now some images from the series have shown up online, including one showing the two stars taking a bath together!
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A Young Doctor’s Notebook is a four-part comedy drama based on a collection of short stories by the celebrated Russian writer and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov. The drama recounts Bulgakov’s semi-autobiographical experiences as a young doctor working in the small village of Muryovo at the dawn of the Russian Revolution in 1917.
‘Recounting from his notebooks, the Doctor considers his life and career as he tries to treat the patients of a village that is struggling to enter the modern age. Dealing not only with the superstitious and poorly educated patients but with his own inner demons, the doctor reveals doubts about his own competence and struggles with the immense burden of medical responsibility.
‘Jon Hamm takes on the role of the older doctor, who has a series of bleakly comic exchanges with his younger self, played Daniel Radcliffe.’
