Tom Hodge (The Mauritanian, Je Suis Karl, Pump, Rise of the Nazis) has composed the original score for the new ITV drama The Ipcress File. The show is written by John Hodge (Trainspotting, The Beach) based on the Len Deighton novel of the same title and stars Joe Cole, Lucy Boynton, Tom Hollander and Ashley Thomas. The 6-part spy thriller is set in the 1960s amid the highly charged atmosphere of the Cold War and follows a British army sergeant on the make in Berlin whose varied interests bring him into contact with everything and everyone – until the law catches up with him and it all comes crashing to a halt. James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Eden Lake) directed all four episodes and is also executive producing the Altitude Television and ITV Studios production with John Hodge, Will Clarke (Filth, Kill Your Friends), Andy Mayson (Big Game), Andrew Eaton (Rush, A Mighty Heart), Sandy Lieberson and Hilary & Steven Saltzman. Tom Hodge has previously co-scored the Watkins-directed 2018 series  McMafia. The Ipcress File will premier this Sunday, March 6 in the UK on ITV and will debut in the U.S. later this year on AMC+.
