TO OLIVIA (2021, SKY PG)

Who: Hugh Bonneville, Keeley Hawes, Sam Heughan, Conleth Hill, Geoffrey Palmer. Director: John Hay.

Not your average cosy biopic, this looks at a difficult period in a famous author’s life. In 1962, eccentric author Roald Dahl (Hugh Bonneville) and his Hollywood actress wife Patricia Neal (Keeley Hawes) have retreated to the English countrysid­e to bring up their expanding young family.

Tragically, their lives are turned upside down by the devastatin­g death of their daughter Olivia, and as the couple struggle through the unimaginab­le loss, their shared grief becomes a source of redemption and strength which changes their lives forever.

From Friday on Sky Cinema and NOW TV.
