Perfect couple are torn apart by reality
LIAR ITV, Monday, 9pm
LIAR tells the story of a night that changes the lives of Laura Nielson (Joanne Froggatt) and Andrew Earlham (Ioan Gruffudd) forever.
Intelligent, outspoken and strong-willed, Laura is popular with both pupils and staff at the local secondary school where she teaches English.
When we first meet Laura, her ex-boyfriend Tom has just moved out and she is starting life again as a single woman, unsure about getting back on the dating scene.
Meanwhile, outwardly charming Andrew is a well-respected cardiac surgeon, popular with patients and colleagues alike at Broadhill Hospital, where he works.
Recently widowed, Andrew takes an interest in Laura, who teaches his son, Luke, at the local school.
An initial attraction leads to Andrew asking Laura out on a date, but neither fully realises the far-reaching consequences that their meeting will have on each other or their families.
The date goes well, the chemistry between pair is electric – but when when their respective accounts of events turn out to be wildly different, rumours and accusations begin to circulate, threatening to unravel their entire lives.
Andrew and Laura find themselves entangled in a web of deceit and confusion, ultimately pitting the two against one another in a brutal battle for the truth.
Truth and consequences go hand in hand in a tense and gripping sixpart thriller that examines both sides of a relationship and both sides of the truth.
Liar explores the devastating cost of deceit on the couple, their friends and their families, as secrets and lies are laid bare… Are there really two sides to every story?
