Ian McDiarmid is certainly keeping himself busy outside of the galaxy far, far away as he stars in the newly-commissioned World War One drama 37 Days, which will be shown on BBC 2.
On BBC Two, Ian McDiarmid stars in 37 Days, which will explore the politics behind the build-up to war. The events will also be retold on BBC Radio 4 in 1914 Day-by-Day, a 42-part series featuring archive news excerpts, from the day of the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand to the outbreak of war five weeks later.
