DRAMA

-

BBC1, 9pm

With a cracking cast, promising plot and penned by top television writer Debbie Horsfield, this drama was supposed to be our next addiction.

But last week’s opener left viewers disappoint­ed by cliched storylines and over-the-top characters. Some thought it was a rehash of Horsfield’s noughties drama Cutting It.

But we’re reasonable people, so we’re giving this a second chance.

Last we saw, Teddy (Robson Green) declared with evil arched eyebrow: “Bel’s the woman I would have married if he hadn’t got there first.” He sounded like a Bond villain. Expect more plotting.

Meanwhile, Bel (Polly Walker) booked a taster session with personal trainer Lorelei, the woman she knows her husband has slept with. This is not likely to end well – and it doesn’t.

Beware an odd musical number at the beginning, but enjoy every eye roll from little Disney.

With a name like that, she was bound to get sarcasm. CULTURE CLASH Docs are put to the test
