The BBC and PBS Masterpiece have released a first look image of Hugh Laurie in Roadkill, a four-part political thriller written by Collateral’s David Hare and made by National Treasure producer The Forge.
Laurie stars as self-made, forceful and charismatic politician Peter Laurence, whose life is being picked apart by his enemies. Laurence, however, is shamelessly untroubled by guilt or remorse as he walks a high wire between glory and catastrophe.
