BBC Three has commissioned its latest factual drama from the BAFTA-winning BBC Studios team behind Killed By My Debt, Murdered By My Father and Murdered For Being Different.
Life and Death in the Warehouse from highly-regarded BBC Studios Drama exec Aysha Rafaele stars Peaky Blinders’ Aimee-Ffion Edwards, In My Skin’s Poppy Lee Friar and Line of Duty’s Craig Parkinson as workers and a manager in a Welsh warehouse, telling of the exploration of working conditions in modern distribution centers.
In the “customer-fixated” culture of these centers, “idle time” (toilet breaks and conversations) and “pick” or “aspirational” rates (number of items picked per hour) are constantly measured with 24-hour surveillance, which can lead to disciplinary hearings and ruthless “off-boarding” (sacking). In a desperate attempt to keep her new job, Megan (Edwards) presses pregnant Alys (Friar) to get her “pick rate” up, putting Alys and her baby at risk.

Almost four decades after Margaret Thatcher rose to power as Britain’s first female prime minister, the BBC has ordered a landmark documentary series on the iconic and divisive leader. “Thatcher,” a five-hour look at the politician dubbed the “Iron Lady,” will go out on BBC Two in the U.K.
BBC Studios will sell “Thatcher” internationally. The series will tell the story of how a young girl from a modest English market town, who trained as a chemist, became a world leader. Thatcher served as premier from 1979 to 1990, and died in 2013.
Spanning five one-hour installments, the documentary will provide a social history of modern Britain. British pubcaster the BBC promises “a front-row seat as Thatcher rides the tumultuous tides of public support through three election victories, as the nation yo-yos and divides itself between soaring adulation and violent unrest.”
The show will also examine the legacy of a Conservative...
