Repeat: 4seven Tomorrow 12:20am Will Mellor, so good as the unhappy psychic in Broadchurch, is David, a nervous man waiting in a restaurant to meet his agency-organised date for the first time. She’s supposedly called Celeste and it looks like she’s not going to show up. It turns out, though, that her name is Mia (Oona Chaplin) and she’s actually sitting at the bar, preparing to flee.
It’s a slight tale, the first of nine. Neither is it particularly rewarding, but the leads make it work. Chaplin is great as Mia, a horrible, narcissistic woman who’s rude to her date, leaving him cross and humiliated.
1/9. New series. Drama about people seeking romance, following their initial meetings with potential partners. Yorkshire lorry driver David makes his first foray into online dating, but quickly realises he may have bitten off more than he can chew when he meets the beautiful Mia.
