White Heat is a British television drama series, written by Paula Milne, and first broadcast on BBC Two from 8 March to 12 April 2012.
The series follows seven students who first meet in a London, Tufnell Park[1] flatshare in 1965 and consists of six one-hour episodes, set in 1965, 1967, 1973, 1979, 1982 and 1990.
Milne herself rejected a direct comparison, however; "Our Friends in the North was absolutely seminal.
"The mix of the personal and the political is framed by a flash-forward to the present day, in which the house is revisited by the former friends after one of their number dies and makes them the executors of his or her will.
"[2] The title of the sixth episode comes from the nickname for the Japanese forest Aokigahara.
