And so it plays out, over four episodes, between Sheffield (where Daniel has remained as a music journalist) and Sydney (home to best-selling novelist) Alison.

One quibble, please can we have some legislation to stop "Love will Tear Us Apart" being included in every other film or TV series? It just about escapes here given the title and crux of the show but it's ubiquity is killing its importance.
