BBC Media Pack for Decline and Fall Available Online

The BBC’s Media Pack for its production of Decline and Fall is available online. This includes Q&A’s for the major characters and short introductions and photos for the others. There are also Q&A’s for the writer (James Wood) and the director (Guillem Morales). Here is Wood’s summary of the script:

We are doing three hour long episodes and the book moves through three different worlds… It’s been a huge and very entertaining challenge pulling off what is effectively three one hour films that all still feel like the same show. The first episode is set in a horrendous minor Welsh public school, populated with lunatics and monsters. The second episode is set in Margot’s high society world and Kristian the production designer has built an amazing modernist home that Margot lives in. That world is all parties and decadence and has something of a Noel Coward feel. And the third episode largely takes place in a prison. Paul Pennyfeather is the thread that pulls us through those worlds but it’s been a real challenge, an exciting challenge for everyone, pulling off those three worlds and making it feel like a whole.

When you open the link, the menu for the more detailed information is located to the right of the photograph. Most of the information appearing in recent press reports plus additional details are available in this media pack.
