Summer Of Rockets is a new Stephen Poliakoff drama set around the beginning of the Cold War, circa 1957/58, and while I’ve not really been able to get into his earlier works, this one did seem quite accessible from the start. It follows Russian Jewish inventor Samuel Petrukhin (Toby Stephens) who’s living with family in […]
