Parade's End's success may have been bittersweet for Piers Wenger, the former BBC executive who worked closely with Sir Tom Stoppard to bring Ford Madox Ford's novels to the screen. By the time the acclaimed period drama aired on BBC2, Wenger had switched sides to Channel 4, where he is four months into his new role as head of drama.

"That was the show that in many ways was the hardest to leave," says Wenger. "I left about halfway through the shoot. I thought it was wonderful." Wenger will have to watch from another table at awards time if the adaptation cleans up, as expected. "I thought Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Rebecca [Hall] really worked in those roles. They found romantic comedy in a very unlikely place."

Now Wenger has his own parade to boast about, a trio of new dramas including New World, a sequel to the well-received civil war drama The Devil's *****, written by Peter Flannery and Martine Brant. Home Before Dark, written by Abi Morgan (The Hour, The Iron Lady) with Kevin Macdonald as executive producer, is a four-part thriller spanning the UK, Italy and the US that examines the corrupting power of the internet. Another new commission, Dates, is a series of half-hour dramas by the Skins creator, Bryan Elsley, looking at modern relationships."
