"Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and Mad Men actor Jon Hamm are to appear in a new Sky Arts comedy drama. A Young Doctor&amp;#039;s Notebook is based on a collection of short stories by Russian writer and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov.   Hamm will play the older doctor, who will be seen conversing with his younger self, played by Radcliffe. 22-year-old Radcliffe said: &amp;quot;I have been an obsessive Bulgakov reader for a couple of years now so when the opportunity to become involved in this project came up, I could barely contain my excitement.  &amp;quot;The book is funny, grotesque and heartfelt in equal measure and I look forward to working with a great group of people to help bring it to life.&amp;quot; Hamm added: &amp;quot;I am thrilled to get the opportunity to work on such rich source material with such fantastically talented people whose work I greatly respect, and to continue the relationship with Sky who have taken such good care of Mad Men since acquiring it.&amp;quot; Produced by Big Talk Productions in association with Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt&amp;#039;s Point West Pictures, the four-part series will recount Bulgakov&amp;#039;s semi-autobiographical experiences as a young doctor working in the small village of Muryovo at the dawn of the Russian Revolution in 1917. &amp;quot;Clelia Mountford and Big Talk have been championing this project unabashedly and I share their great enthusiasm for bringing something original, dark, funny and moving to light,&amp;quot; said Hamm.  &amp;quot;Also, I have been watching Bridget Jones&amp;#039;s Diary on infinite loop, and I think I&amp;#039;ve finally got this accent thing sorted...&amp;quot; A Young Doctor&amp;#039;s Notebook will broadcast on Sky Arts in 2013 and will be distributed internationally by BBC Worldwide.
