Adultery, a new drama on ITV1, follows a passionate affair between personal trainer Beth and doctor Tom. The series, created by Bafta-winning Danny Brocklehurst, explores emotional and physical entanglements over six episodes.

Adultery: A Series of Emotional and Physical Tensions

Beth, played by Romola Garai, is a personal trainer who feels emotionally drained after her best friend’s sudden death. She is married to a man she sees as unengaged and is a mother to a son she finds unappreciative.

Tom, portrayed by Dominic Cooper, is a doctor whose marriage is strained. He is also the father of Beth’s son’s new girlfriend. This creates a complex web of relationships.

The series begins with a relatively mild tone, but quickly escalates. Scenes include trysts in cars, toilets, and a city farm. The show promises to explore the emotional fallout of the affair, not just the physical encounters.

According to a review by Hollie Richardson of the Guardian, the series is described as ‘addictive’ and ‘moreish’. It balances intimate drama with realistic emotional stakes. The characters’ personal lives are shown with nuance, avoiding melodrama.

Kevin McCloud’s Listed Britain: A Polemic on Preservation

On Channel 4, Kevin McCloud explores Britain’s listed buildings. The programme visits landmarks such as the Palace of Westminster, Hereford Cathedral, and Chatsworth House.

McCloud raises questions about why many modest structures—like pubs—are not included in the list of protected buildings. He suggests that preservation efforts often reflect a preference for grandeur over everyday community spaces.

Phil Harrison, who reviewed the programme, notes that the series functions as a polemic. It prompts viewers to reflect on the values that shape decisions about what is preserved and what is left behind.

One participant reveals a secret, threatening to undermine the group’s cohesion. The show ends with a hint about how to end the experiment—by securing evacuation.

Jack Seale describes the series as ‘doomy but silly’. It uses satire to explore human behaviour in extreme conditions, offering a humorous yet insightful look at group dynamics under pressure.

A Course Called Ireland: Bill Murray Reconnects to Roots
