CHEATERS

FALLOUT FROM A TRYST

The cheaters in this romantic drama, serialised into 18 ten-minute episodes, are Fola (Susan Wokoma) and Josh (Anatomy Of A Scandal’s Joshua Mcguire, below, with Callie Cooke as girlfriend Esther) who find out that they live on the same London street after a one-night stand in Finland – what are the odds? The set-up tests the bounds of believability but the point is to follow these foundering twentysomethings as they struggle with their guilt and try to mop up the debris of their existing relationships. It paints a pretty grim picture of modern relationships as self-indulgent and unsatisfying but Wokoma and Mcguire are compelling, and there’s a strong supporting cast helping to turn down the dial on the angst. iplayer
