WHAT’S HOT TO WATCH TODAY
ONLY in Wales, up till now at least, have viewers been able to watch KEEPING FAITH, Eve Myles’s latest thriller. Well, that and on the BBC iPlayer.
But it’s turned out to be such a massive success, with requests to see it online reaching a record-breaking 9.5 million, that it’s now being shown again, this time on BBC1 and across the whole of the UK, with the first of the eight episodes going out tonight at 9pm.
Myles plays Faith Howells, a lawyer – and a wife and mum – whose husband (played by Bradley Freegard, who happens to be her off-screen spouse as well) suddenly vanishes without explanation. It’s a mystery she’s naturally desperate to get to the bottom of, but what shocking discoveries will she make about this bloke she’d assumed she was happily married to? DON’T buy over-priced branded food when there’s an equally good non-branded alternative. Don’t splash out on endless takeaways when, for a fraction of the cost and in next to no time, you can easily whip up something just as nice. Don’t buy stacks of food that you know from past experience will just sit and rot in your fridge and then get chucked away. And most important of all, don’t be an idiot.
Those are the commonsense points Gregg Wallace and Chris Pavin have been spelling out to people (although they’ve tended to phrase the last one more tactfully) ever since EAT WELL FOR LESS? began five years ago.
And yet their services are required for yet another eight-part series of it, starting tonight at 8pm on BBC1. Seriously, doesn’t anyone listen?
