The BBC (BBC 1) has acquired the forthcoming adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s best-selling novel, The Last Anniversary.
The six-part series -described as a comedy drama – stars Teresa Palmer, Miranda Richardson and Danielle Macdonald, with Helen Thomson, Susan Prior, Claude Scott-Mitchell, Charlie Garber, Uli Latukefu and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor.
The story is set on Scribbly Gum Island, a place of many secrets. The one that made it famous – the disappearance of a young couple decades ago – might have made the island a destination for true crime tourists, but when it comes to secrets, the three generations of women that call Scribbly Gum home, hold far more.
When Sophie Honeywell (Teresa Palmer) inherits a house on the island, left to her by her ex-boyfriend’s great-aunt Connie, it’s the fresh start she’s craving, despite the unwelcome reception she receives on arrival. Single and approaching 40, Sophie is intrigued by something else Connie left her - a promise that she might finally find the man of her dreams…

I'll be disappointed with how late I've come to the party with INDUSTRY. Suffice to say that anybody who has spent any amount of time working in The City will recognise all of the places and many of the characters. These are a good series (x3)

Gotta love Industry S3. Spirals head-mentally out of control while remaining absolutely must-watch TV (if you absolutely bloomin' loved S1 & S2)

Apologies if previously recommended upthread, but two excellent Welsh crime dramas, usually involving murder or abduction/kidnapping.
1) Set in bleak and remote countryside near Aberystwyth with surly/dodgy locals and their dark family secrets; slow-paced but still gripping and sometimes unnerving https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b03sgfbz/hinterland
2) On currently. Set in and around Pembroke Dock; a run-down town literally at the end of the (train) line in south-west. Wales. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0jt33wx/cleddau
