The drama, which is a spin-off of 2015 BBC hit Doctor Foster, also tells the story of Gail and Belle. Gail (played by Alison Steadman), is married to Henry (Peter Davison) and together they have two grown-up children and a young grandson.
The couple have a generally happy marriage, but Henry often undermines Gail, and suddenly her life is thrown into question after a chance encounter.
Elsewhere in the show, Annabelle, played by Victoria Hamilton, is now going by the name of Belle. Belle, who was in fact the neighbour of Suranne Jones' character Gemma in the 2015 drama series, decides to leave her hometown and start her life again.
