BBC are putting out a new series of plays recently filmed in lockdown starting next week:

Watched the first couple of shows last night, very impressed!

Each 30 minute show has three short pieces. All filmed with the actors at home, either individually or co-starring with their family or partners so there's an element of "Oh, I didn't know THEY were an item!" to it

Highlights of the first couple for me were James Graham's piece "Viral" about three young men coping with lockdown (with Laurie Kynaston) and "Safer at Home" by Anna Maloney with Gemma Arterton

I've seen Tuesday's and Thursday's episodes so far and though they were really good, some very moving, especially the NHS workers one. And yes, as with Webinars and online Q&As, there is an element of 'Through the Keyhole' with the backgrounds - if someone has busy walls or bookshelves I think 'yay!".

So those actors who decided to ‘marry’ or live together get the action. Shame about the rest.
