EXCLUSIVE: BBC One has set the premiere date for Dancing Ledge Productions’ anticipated three-part miniseries, The Salisbury Poisonings. A dramatization of the 2018 Novichok poisonings that r…

We recently spoke with executive producers Laurence Bowen and Chris Carey as well as writers Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn about pulling together this intimate portrayal of hope and bravery in the face of terrible tragedy, as well as its resonance within the current state of the world and what it was like to get through post-production amid theCommercial Shoots Start To Pick Up As Restrictions On Film & TV Productions Begin To...

“The tie around for the show, from [BBC drama commissioner] Lucy Richer, was ‘ordinary heroism.’ This was a story about people coming together and showing the very best of British public service at a time when Britain felt very broken,” says Patterson, referring to a theme that could also be said of the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Producers wanted to capture the drama from the inside, says Bowen. The idea pitched to the BBC was “a dramatization of it, not as a spy thriller, or an assassination story, but more as a kind of experiential story: What it must have felt like for the key people both on the responder side but also in terms of the families who had been very directly affected by either Novichok or just by being close to the events.

The production itself had to overcome some unforeseen challenges given the outbreak of COVID-19 coincided with the end of filming. One of the last scenes to be shot involved the real-life characters on a day in early March. Says Carey, “If we’d chosen a later date, we never would have been able to film it. It felt like we just got home before the tornado hit.”
