Bringing the original cast and creator Mike Bullen back together – minus Helen Baxendale, whose character Rachel was killed in Series 5 – fans were delighted to have the show back.
The Manchester-based series is back starring Coleraine man James Nesbitt, John Thomson, Fay Ripley, Robert Bathurst and Hermione Norris.

Last night’s episode saw Adam chatting to Tina (Leanne Best) about his doubts about his new bride Angela (Karen David) and sharing more than a few flirtatious moments after she mistook him for a taxi driver.
“In the new series it’s born out of a boat journey and then he falls instantly in love with Angela, played by Karen David”.
