Masterpiece Classic brings a timely drama, Any Human Heart, described as a rollercoaster ride through one man's life, to PBS on Sundays February 13 through 27, 2011 at 9pm.

From PBS

Based on the betselling novel by William Boyd, Any Human Heart is a rollercoaster ride through one man's life. A trio of great actors portray the different life stages of hero Logan Mountstuart, a writer, lover, art dealer and spy living by his wits in the tumultuous 20th century.

Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent stars as Mountstuart in his dotage, with Matthew Macfadyen as the hero in his prime and Sam Claflin as the eager seducer in his impetuous youth.

A footloose writer takes part in the tumultuous 20th century, while getting to know Ernest Hemingway, Ian Fleming, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. He also falls in love — over and over.

Also starring are Hayley Atwell, Kim Cattrall, Gillian Anderson, Tom Hollander, and Ed Stoppard.

The DVD will be available from PBS Home Video: ShopPBS.org.
