Any Human Heart Season 1

Logan Mountstuart is a student at Oxford in the 1920s, aspiring to become a great novelist but even more desperate to lose his virginity. Seemingly trapped by a promise to his dying father to join the family corned beef company, a chance encounter with Ernest Hemingway re-ignites his literary passion. But when true love really does hit him, how will Logan cope when faced with the fact that life is random and uncontrollable?

Working as a journalist during the Spanish Civil War, Logan confides in Hemingway, knowing he must make decisions about Freya and Lottie. With the outbreak of WWII, Logan is recruited as a British Agent by Ian Fleming. Foreign assignments lead to encounters with the formidable Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Although the world is in turmoil, Logan's domestic life is bliss. Freya and Stella, their daughter, are thriving and it seems at last that Logan understands the meaning of true love.

Following some personal tragedy, Logan appears to have moved on and found success and happiness in the art world of New York. But a family death brings him back to London where he meets Peter's third wife Gloria, and attempts to come to terms with his loss.

Logan emerges from his coma, but is upset to hear of Ben's death. After being discharged from hospital, he returns to his old flat in London, where he struggles to make ends meet. In a bid to make the most of his life, he becomes involved with an anti-fascist organisation - only to discover his new friends have sinister plans. Drama, starring Jim Broadbent, Matthew Macfadyen and Julian Rhind-Tutt.
