"BBC Four is to broadcast another Danish drama following the success of detective series The Killing. The new acquisition, called Government, is a ten-part political drama made by The Killing&amp;#039;s production company. In Government, actor Sidse Babett Knudsen plays 40-year-old party leader Birgitte Nyborg who secures a surprise election victory. It depicts some of her private life but is mostly set around her political struggles and beliefs. Other characters include cynical media adviser Kasper Juul and young television political journalist Katrine Fonsmark, reports The Guardian. BBC Four controller Richard Klein said that he hopes the drama will be as well received as The Killing, which won the Bafta award for &amp;#039;Best International Programme&amp;#039; last month. &amp;quot;BBC Four always buys with an eye to excellence,&amp;quot; Klein said. &amp;quot;Government is dramatic and entertaining, very much in the mould of The Killing, and fits BBC Four&amp;#039;s brief to bring the best international television to the audience.&amp;quot; Government&amp;#039;s producer Camilla Hammerich commented: &amp;quot;I think it is fantastic that the series will be shown on the BBC. I am proud that a series about politics can travel this far and hopefully reach a large audience outside Denmark.&amp;quot; Government is expected to air later this year.
