Plunged into a world of grief, Alice discovers that her darling partner of 20 years has left behind a trail of debts, secrets and suspicion. But how will she uncover the truth when she can’t even find the fridge or flush the loo? ‘Alice is very reliant on
What’s on
Harry,’ explains Honour and Bodyguard star Keeley.
‘He’s been the breadwinner while she’s lived a lovely family existence, so his death is like a grenade going off.’
The six-part drama follows Alice’s blackly comic journey of love, loss and self-discovery.
‘Alice must now find out who she is, but she’s left with a lot of questions and her life unravels,’ reveals Keeley.
The police come calling, along with Harry’s parents, Minnie and Gerry (Gemma Jones and Kenneth Cranham), and her own mum and dad,
Sarah and
Roger (Joanna
Lumley and Nigel
Havers), who awkwardly lend support.
‘There’s friction between Alice and her mother because they’re quite alike,’ says Keeley.
Keeley reunited with The Durrells’ director Roger Goldby and writer Simon Nye to coproduce the drama.
‘Keeley, Simon and I share a similar sense of humour and we didn’t want to tell a miserable story,’ says Roger. ‘There are laughs in the show, right next door to death, pain and loss.’
