Here we go for series two of Mad Men. It’s really very good, you will have read on these pages and elsewhere. If you’re coming to show blind, it’s set in the early 1960s, in the new and cool world of advertising. You’ll see Don Draper. He’s smooth. You’ll see other men who smoke a shed-load who rule the roost and treat women badly. You’ll see the men take mistresses, cheat on their wives and generally gad about as a lot of men used to in those days. But you’ll see the women, who live what appears to be perfect and affluent lives, but underneath it all are desperately bored and unhappy. Sounds like fun, right? There’s a trailer for series two, which starts tonight on BBC Four (Tuesday 10 February, 10pm). Oh, and everyone looks amazing.
