'See you on Thursday?" Christopher Simpson says to Tannishtha Chatterjee, and it sounds like a line from Brief Encounter, which is then glimpsed on TV.

In the Mood for a Brief Encounter and a Bhaji.
And the loser husband Satish Kaushik, who goes to the meeting and actually says something worthwhile. In other words, Laura Jones and Abi Morgan's adaptation of Monica Ali's novel isn't as straightforward as you might think. We thought it was rather good.
