4 Extra Debut. John and Maggie had a disastrous affair 20 years ago but should they try again now they're older and wiser? Stars Bill Nighy.

Maggie and John had a passionate affair in their younger days, but it didn't last.

Now in their late 60s a surprise encounter gives them another chance to take up where they left off. Will they manage to find the best in each other and finally get together, or will old wounds and an awareness of their ageing bodies deter them?
