Mad Men has been really, really, really good. The series won a Golden Globe and, when BBC Four announced that it would be showing it, I was very happy to have a look. It has turned out to be a multi-layered beast, and should be near the top of any end-of-year polls if there’s any justice at all. For those who haven’t seen it, it tells the story of Sterling Cooper – and advertising agency – circa 1960. Advertising is the big, new thing, and anyone in advertising is very desirable and rock n’ roll. The central figure in this slick, very male world is Don Draper, a chiselled ad exec who has everything – a beautiful wife, a brilliant career, a lovely home and two perfect kids. Except this isn’t enough for DD, and he’s turned out to be one of the most complex male television character we’ve seen since Tony Soprano.

Last week, it was revealed that DD was not DD at all (he was Dick Whitman, who ‘stole’ the name Donald Draper from a soldier he accidentally killed in the Korean War). I’m wondering how I will react to this episode and DD after this unexpected revelation.

This last episode, sees Sterling Cooper pitch for Kodak’s latest amazing product – the slide projector. Duck, SC’s newest recruit is trying to inject some get-up-and-go into the company. I wonder how this will sit with Slimy Pete and the rest of the Alpha Males there.

But that’s not going to be the real story. From what I’ve read, it’s Thanksgiving time. And when better to have a family meltdown and near mental breakdown? I fear Donald Draper’s world is about to come crashing down around him
