The Look's Managing Director Thomas Urbye comments "We were very excited to have some of the UK's best drama and film talent coming to work with us. 'Desperate Romantics' was a great series for the BBC and for us, working alongside such a fantastic team was a very enjoyable experience"

The series followed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, its a relationship drama from the perspective of this iconoclastic group of dysfunctional male romantics.
