Many women have fantasised about taking a bath with both Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe.

And now the daydreams are somewhat fulfilled, as images from a new TV series show the two actors cosying up in the tub together.

Both thespians play the same character in the four-part series A Young Doctor's Notebook but at different ages, which would explain the bathtub scene.

The new dark comedy, which will be aired on Sky Arts 1 HD in early December, is based on the short stories of the celebrated author and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov.

The semi-autobiographical series tells of his experiences as a young doctor working in the small village of Muryovo at the beginning of the Russian Revolution in 1917.

Jon Hamm plays the older doctor, who experiences a series of comical exchanges with his younger self, played by Daniel Radcliffe.

The Doctor looks back on his life and career by looking through his notebooks, as he tries to treat the patients of a village that is struggling to enter the modern age.

Speaking at a screening held last month, Daniel admitted he was well aware of the fact many of women would be jealous of his bathtub scene with the Mad Men hunk.

When asked about shooting the scene, he said: 'It was great, because you know you are the envy of every woman ever.'

The former Harry Potter star also revealed he's an avid fan of the author, and couldn't wait to sink his teeth into the gritty role.

'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,' he said.

The series has been made in association with Point West Pictures, the production company owned by Hamm and his partner Jennifer Westfeldt.

I have nothing against Radcliffe because he does seem like a nice guy. The guy is not that great an actor. In fact he is rather mediocre in my opinion but good luck to him anyhow.

What a great premise - hire two actors who look nothing like each to play an older and younger version of themselves.

You guys realize when he said 'the envy of every woman ever' Dan was talking about how everyone would love to be in the bath with John Hamm not himself.
