Sally Wainwright’s Bafta Award-winning drama returns for a much-anticipated fifth series.
Alan (Derek Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) are seven years into their marriage and, having moved into a desirable bungalow with stunning views across the Calder Valley, they aren’t seeing eye to eye.
Celia is baffled when Alan applies for a job in a local supermarket and Alan can’t understand why they need an expensive new kitchen. At Far Slack Farm, Gillian (Nicola Walker) – already stretched with bank repayments – discovers a costly problem with her roof. And Caroline (Sarah Lancashire) faces a fresh challenge in her new headship and recruits the help of colleague, Ruth (Lu Corfield).
A phone call from New Zealand gives Alan and Celia pause for thought, and tempers get frayed at Caroline and Gillian’s joint birthday celebration when money becomes the topic of conversation. Meanwhile, Judith (Ronni Ancona) presents John (Tony Gardner) with an awkward proposition…
Last Tango In Halifax is written by Sally Wainwright, directed by Gareth Bryn, and produced by Ken Horn. The four-part series also features Timothy West, Josh Bolt, Dean Smith, Louis Greatorex, Paul Copley, Katherine Rose Morley, Felix Johnson, Rachel Leskovac and Liam McCheyne.
Executive producers are Faith Penhale and Laura Lankester for Lookout Point, Ben Irving for the BBC, and Sally Wainwright.
