Mad Men – The Arrangements (Wednesday 10 February)

BBC

BBC One

Relationships are formed and broken, as the award-winning US drama set in an advertising agency in the early Sixties continues. Gene and Sally are growing closer but, when Gene prepares his funeral arrangements, he upsets his family. Meanwhile, Sterling Cooper is approached by a friend of Pete's, Horace, with Jai alai (a Basque racket sport), which he claims is the sport of the future. But problems arise when it turns out that Horace also happens to be the son of Cooper's close friend.

When the director of a shoot cancels, Sal replaces him at the last minute. However, Sal uses the excuse of being stressed at work to avoid being intimate with his wife. Peggy also has domestic problems as she struggles to find a room-mate and tells her family about plans to move to Manhattan. She puts an ad on the bulletin board but is ridiculed by her co-workers.

Meanwhile, tragedy hits the Draper household.

Kiernan Shipka plays Sally Draper, Vincent Kartheiser plays Pete, Bryan Batt plays Sal, Elisabeth Moss plays Peggy, Jon Hamm plays Don Draper and January Jones plays Betty Draper.

Mad Men is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.
