ITV has revealed the trailer for new drama Breathless, starring Jack Davenport and Joanna Page.
The period drama opens in 1961, and follows the lives of a group of doctors and nurses working in a London hospital.
The six-part drama, which also stars Sarah Parish, Catherine Steadman and Iain Glen, is billed as being set in a world of "lies, deception and guilty secrets, driven by love, ambition and sex".
The action takes place in a Gynaecology unit, on the cusp of Britain's '60s revolution where abortion is illegal and the contraceptive pill is only just becoming available to married women.
The drama was co-created by Casualty's Paul Unwin, who collaborated with Peter Grimsdale and Simon Tyrrell to write the series.
