The Heretic

Overview

Dr Diane Cassell is the pin up girl for skeptics. Played by Jennifer Ward-Lealand she is a rather opinionated scientist who makes Paul Henry look like the leader of the PC brigade. She's in a spot of hot water with the Sacred Earth Militia, at odds with her anorexic and Greenpeace-supporting daughter and in trouble with her faculty boss - and former lover.

The politics of science, the idiocy of academia and the chaos of family life collide in this wonderfully irreverent comedy about truth, lonely hearts, brilliant minds and blowing yourself up on Top Gear. Judging by the international reviews this new work by Richard Bean of One Man Two Guvnors fame is bound to tickle your funny bone.
