Briefing Notes: Back currently with his new drama 'Dancing On The Edge' which I am greatly enjoying. Poliakoff excels at crafting thought provoking and beautifully shot intelligent television. I have recently re-watched 'Gideon's Daughter' and 'The Lost Prince' both of which have brightened up a weekend when the wretched weather has 'stopped play'. Also intriguing was his recent film 'Glorious 39' which focuses on the British upper classes and their appeasement of Hitler in order to maintain their way of life. The background causes of appeasement have always fascinated me.
