The four-part drama explores the heartbreak and pain of a family being torn apart from having to make a choice no parent would ever want to make.

Sharon Horgan and Michael Sheen play married couple Nicci and Andrew and together they have two daughters Katie (Alison Oliver) and Marnie (Niamh Moriarty).

However, Marnie is terminally ill with a life-threatening condition and the doctors believe the kindest thing to do would be to let her die.

Based on Alderton's memoirs, the first look images for the drama of Everything I Know About Love features the close knit group of friends Maggie (Emma Appleton), Birdy (Bel Powley), Nell (Marli Siu) and Amara (Aliyah Odoffin), plus Street (Connor Finch).

The drama promises to give an unvarnished look at the adventures that occur when you’re trying to survive your 20s. 

Set in 2012, Maggie and Birdy are childhood best friends living in a London houseshare together, facing bad dates, heartaches and humiliations.

I squirmed in my seat when former doctor Adam Kay ­verbally eviscerated a heckler. He was as sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel and as mean as a betrayed woman in a blues song. It hurt. Anyone attending his live shows: be warned. 

His new medical drama, BBC One’s This Is Going To Hurt, should come with a health warning. This is not because of the gore (of which there is plenty), but because one aspect of junior ­doctors’ lives has improved since his and my time – though this, sadly, could soon regress with Brexit. 

Everyone has a story about when they first became aware of the BBC. For me, it was when I was roused from sleep by the sound of a TV programme my mum was watching. Picture this: a little boy trudging downstairs in his PJs to see what was so thrilling that it warranted his dear mum waking herself (and him!) so early on a Sunday morning, only to find that it was a show about British electrical plugs. And, no, I’m not joking.  

The four-part drama, written and directed by Stefan Golaszewski, shows an intimate look at the lives of married couple Ian (Sean Bean) and Emma (Nicola Walker) as they navigate the highs and lows of a 30 year marriage. 

Providing a realistic look at what makes a long-term intimate relationship, the drama sees the couple deal with the insecurities, ambiguities, hopes and fears that occur within a marriage. 

The rest of the cast includes James Bolam as Gerry, Emma’s father, Henry Lloyd-Hughes as Jamie, Emma’s Boss, and Chantelle Alle as Jessica, Ian and Emma’s daughter. 

The BBC leads the way with 30 nominations across the 24 categories, followed by Channel 4 with 28, Sky with 10 and ITV with eight. BBC One, ITV and Sky Arts will compete for the prestigious RTS Channel of the Year award at the March ceremony.
