Borgen & House of Cards writers team up for new BBC drama
House of Cards author Michael Dobbs has announced that he is collaborating with the writer of Danish political drama Borgen, Adam Price, to produce a ‘very major project’ for the BBC.
Scheduled to hit the small screen next year the project is shrouded in secrecy but Dobbs, a Conservative peer, expressed an interest in telling the ‘real story’ of Denis Thatcher.
The late-husband of former PM Margaret Thatcher is described by Dobbs as a ‘brilliant, brilliant character to base a play on’.
Dobbs has recently been thrust back into the limelight after his political dramatization, first aired by the BBC in the 1990’s, was picked up by Netflix for a remake starring Kevin Spacey.
