The UK’s Channel 4 has commissioned “Number 10,” a new political drama series from “Sherlock” co-creator and former “Doctor Who” showrunner Steven Moffat.
The series will explore all the different levels and people who work at one of the most famous addresses in the world – the British prime minister’s home of 10 Downing Street in London.
Executive producer Sue Vertue says the series is a passion project for Moffat, telling THR: “He says there are three famous doors in the world; he’s done 221B Baker Street and the TARDIS – now he’s going to do the real one.”
The series plans to deal with “the building and everyone inside. Not just the Prime Minister upstairs, but the conspiracy theorist who runs the cafe three floors below, the man who repairs the lift that never works, the madly ambitious ‘advisors’ fighting for office space in cupboards. Oh, and of course, the cat.”
Hartswood Films, part of ITV Studios, will produce the series which is also being executive produced by Lawrence Till. Ben Palmer (“Douglas Is Cancelled,” “The Inbetweeners”) is set to direct.
Further details, including casting and production dates, are due in the near future.
