First PBS Preview for BAFTA Winning Drama 'Last Tango in Halifax'
The six-part series stars Sir Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid as two childhood sweethearts, who are now widowed and in their 70s, who find one another again through the magic of the internet (thanks, Facebook!). They fall in love all over again and the result is a drama that’s charming, funny and just the tiniest bit bittersweet. Halifax isn’t solely about a septuagenarian will they/won’t they romance however, it also incorporates storylines featuring their struggling grown-up children and their relationships with one another.
The first PBS promo for this acclaimed drama has officially arrived – and although it’s certainly just a teaser (clocking in at just thirty seconds), it’s still exceptionally adorable. Watch below.
