Don’t miss out on a date with Myanna

-

GIVEN the popularity of Cold Feet and Friends, I’m always baffled there aren’t more relationsh­ip dramas on TV.

Commission­ers sometimes seem reluctant to back any series that doesn’t feature a detective or superhero.

So I was excited to spot a binge-worthy new show on Britbox called One Night, which follows the progress of a blind date in Oslo.

Myanna Buring stars as a waitress called Elizabeth, who is set up with an enigmatic carpenter called Jonas.

It’s shot in real time, which means no montages of them getting progressiv­ely more giggly as they knock back the wine.

Instead, we live out every toe-curling second of their early tumbleweed moments, with Elizabeth keeping a firm eye on the exit and Jonas texting under the table.

It’s like a particular­ly exciting episode of First Dates, except that Fred is Norwegian.
