One is set in the 1940s, the other in present day. An accomplished author, Gale&#8217;s novels include the Richard and Judy best seller <em>Notes From An Exhibition<\/em> as well as most recent Costa-nominated novel <em>A Place Called Winter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Gale commented: &#8220;<em>Man In An Orange Shirt<\/em> is the most exciting screen project I\u2019ve worked on to date: an original drama exploring strands of gay male experience since the 1940s. It has been such a privilege to be given such an open brief and then allowed to run with it. I don\u2019t want to give too much away but after much experimenting, we\u2019ve ended up with two hour-long films\u2014one set in the 1940s and 50s, one set in the violently contrasted present; one depicting a love story made impossible by pressures from society, one a love story nearly derailed by the long-term fallout from the 1940s story. People who know my novels will be unsurprised to hear that that stories give equal focus to wives and mothers and are very much about tensions between family bonds, the need to be good and the urge to seize happiness. I hope they\u2019ll appeal equally to straight and gay viewers, but also that they\u2019ll leave either side feeling challenged about things they take for granted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Diederick Santer, executive producer for Kudos, said: &#8220;I\u2019m so proud to be sharing an original work from Patrick Gale with the BBC One audience. <em>Man In An Orange Shirt<\/em> is a treat\u2014both epic and intimate, and as touching and entertaining as it is thought-provoking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lucy Richer, acting controller of drama commissioning and BBC executive producer, added: \u201cPatrick is an outstanding and best-selling novelist whose stories connect with readers worldwide. Distinctive, original voices are at the heart of BBC Drama, and we are thrilled to be making his first original television drama for BBC One. <em>Man In An Orange Shirt<\/em> has all the hallmarks of a Patrick Gale novel: captivating stories with unforgettable characters who will strike a chord with us all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Man In An Orange Shirt, a two-parter produced by Kudos for BBC One, marks the first original TV drama from best-selling British novelist Patrick Gale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[201,1123],"class_list":["post-6399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-kudos","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kudos &amp;
