Lou Wood stars as Evie, who hosts a film club for her friend Tom every Thursday at 9.00pm. Each week, she transforms her garage into the perfect setting to watch the film of choice – for Wizard of Oz, a yellow brick road, for Alien, a spacecraft. She tells herself it’s because she loves the movies, but she is secretly harbouring a love for Tom.

Unbeknownst to Evie, these feelings are mutual, and Tom is head-over-heels for her. With this unrequited infatuation remaining hidden below the surface, Tom accepts a job on the other side of the country and tells Evie he’s leaving in six weeks; meaning the two only have six film clubs left to reveal how they feel, or risk losing each other forever.

Lou Wood says: “When Ralph and I met a decade ago we knew pretty much instantly that we wanted to create something together and this feels deeply organic and idiosyncratic and right. Jamie [Jackson] at Gaumont [the production company making Film Club for the BBC] has been the most incredible collaborator and the BBC is the perfect home.

"Three of the most essential things to me have always been writing stories, watching films and acting so the fact I get to write a story ABOUT watching films AND act in it is beyond joyful.”

Ralph Davis says: “I couldn’t be more excited about this. Aimee and I have been speaking about making something together since we met at drama school. To be doing this together is a dream.”

Film Club will air on BBC Three and iPlayer, with no release date currently set.
