Only You

(Harry Wootliff, 2019) BBC Three, 9.45pm

Emotionally involving UK debut drama from the writer-director who went on to make Ruth Wilson amour fou drama True Things. This one features Josh O’Connor (God’s Own Country, The Crown) opposite Laia Costa, the Catalan star of Berlin-set heist drama Victoria. She plays office worker Elena, who clicks one New Year’s Eve in Glasgow with PhD student and DJ Jake (O’Connor). He moves in with her, and they eventually try for a baby – a process that brings tensions to test their relationship. Straightdown-the-line British domestic drama, but keenly tuned, with emotional authenticity and fine performances from a lead duo with real chemistry. Watch also for a terrific support role from Peter Wight as Jake’s dad.
