SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE

Sky Atlantic, 9pm

Bling is king in this fun new daytime show, which sees Gok Wan and a team of experts solve people’s jewellery needs.

It’s a one-stop shop as bespoke pieces are made, heirlooms are restored, and eye-catching items are bought and sold. Jumping on the success of hit shows like The Repair Shop, expect emotive stories and heartwarmi­ng reveals.

In the first episode, Jess visits expert Nikki on the Make counter with an heirloom she’s inherited that’s in need of a tricky transforma­tion. It’s a brooch given to her from her great-grandmothe­r, but she’d like to turn it into a necklace.

Elsewhere, Lance on the Fix counter helps Emma, who has a pocket watch in need of a makeover.

A remake of Ingmar Bergman’s 1973 relationsh­ip drama, this modern take stars Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac as the couple under scrutiny.

They play Mira and Jonathan, married for 10 years with a young daughter, who are clearly not completely happy. As it starts, they are being interviewe­d by a woman writing a paper on gender roles. She’s particular­ly interested in them as their gender roles are flipped.

But Mira is extremely uncomforta­ble and distracted. Both feel the need to defend their roles and relationsh­ip. And after a tense day of reflection and opening up, the couple must navigate the consequenc­es of unexpected news.

A classy depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce.
