You & Me (2023 Tom Vaughan, Writer Jamie Davis)

Three part romantic drama broadcast on ITV jumps out at us from the sidelines.

Harry Lawter loses his wife Sophia Brown the day after she's given birth to twins. Five years later, still single, he meets Jessica Barden, who herself has lost her sister (Isabella Tyson). Really well acted by everyone, especially Barden, who's a revelation. (I didn't realise we'd seen her in the devastating Ellen in 2016.) Beautifully written with particularly good, sharp dialogue.

With Andi Osho, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Genesis Lynea & Lucas Tyson (twins). Well photographed by Michael Filocamo, edited by Bridgette Williams.

Davis is an actor who had credits only for writing one episode each of Eastenders and Casualty.

Good use of South London locations also.
