Episode description

We (by which we actually mean just Dan) talk to writer and director Peter Kosminsky.
He tells us about his early firings (of which there were many including lasting only a day as a researcher because they didn't like his ideas around tampon tax) as well as how he went from Chemistry student to lighting expert.
He discusses his shortcomings as a director, his strengths and how they work on both sides of the Atlantic and the time he nearly gave up after being completely out of his depth on a big Hollywood movie.
We talk about trying to write AND direct, his love of research and being a chameleon.
A fascinating interview with a cerebral, analytical and inisghtful master of his craft.
