BBC Two - The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

An encounter with jewel thieves plunges a dreamer into a web of deceit.

Sparkling comedy about a man who lives only through his daydreams until an encounter with jewel thieves plunges him into a web of danger and deceit.

Walter Mitty, an editor in a company publishing trashy novels, has an overprotective mother and an overbearing boss. He finds comfort in daydreams, from captaining a storm-tossed ship to masterminding surgical operations, but his life is suddenly turned upside down when a beautiful blonde seats herself next to him on his daily commute and tells him she is being followed. He is soon on the trail of a little black book.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
