FLESH & BLOOD

DARK SECRETS

People’s lives are rarely what they seem on the surface, and this absorbing four-part drama applies that principle to an entire family – a widow and her three grown-up but messed-up children. Some of their secrets feel run-of-the-mill at first, but this is the kind of show in which you can’t trust anything, and the question of what really is going on will keep you coming back for more. What’s great about it, too, is the quality of its ensemble cast (above, left to right): Imelda Staunton as the chirpy neighbour, with her own unsavoury secrets, Stephen Rea as the suspiciouslooking new boyfriend of ageless Francesca Annis’s Vivien, the seventysomething widow, whose children – Russell Tovey, Mia Lloyd and Grace Hoggrobinson – all have something to say about their mum’s romance.
