Check out this new “dark comedy/drama” from the AMC TV network (original home of Mad Men) and co-producer of the X-Files Vince Gilligan. It’s about a high-school chemistry teacher who, discovering he has terminal cancer, tries to ensure the future financial security of his family by setting himself up as a manufacturer of crystal meth. In a Winnebago. Starring Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle) as Walter White – the Albuquerque professor whose deep and abiding love of his subject is shared by none of his students, or anyone else he knows.

There’s a highly entertaining Flash site where you can unlock the first darkly comic scene of the first episode if you’re smart enough to navigate through the challenges, and more details on Wikipedia, but if anyone out there is listening, please please bring this to UK TV soon!
