Years And Years 1
Tonight saw the start of Russell T Davies’s Years And Years on BBC One and it’s very Russell T Davies, including some familiar faces in the cast and a thundering Murray Gold soundtrack.
Starting today (with the death of Doris Day on the radio added Drop The Dead Donkey style just before broadcast) it then jumps through five yeas to shows a normal family (Lyons, possibly a reference to this 50s British domestic saga?) dealing with life in 2024 and beyond. And let’s just say it escalates rather quickly.
It really did remind me of Turn Left, Donna Noble’s finest hour, just without her way of fixing things available so I’m not holding out much hope for a happy ending when we reach the 2030s.
Some of the “oh no, what will the future be like?” and “haven’t you read the news?” dialogue clangs, but there’s some lovely observation stuff too. And a funny robot, in a very post-watershed way.

Years And Years, from Russell T Davies
Years And Years, a new series by Russell T Davies, starting next week on BBC One. His work has touched on this before with Donna’s parallel future in Turn Left, though this will give us more time with the family dealing with a frightening future.
