Take Me

Here's a drama series that is not afraid to spread itself - a six-parter beginning with a feature-length opener. To give an idea of the leisurely pace, it's a full 45 minutes before Robson Green gets his kit off (though there's a close call earlier on).

Green plays venture capitalist Jack, with Beth Goddard as his wife Kay. The fact that there is little chemistry between them is no disadvantage, for, as gradually becomes apparent, theirs is a deeply troubled marriage.

And they could hardly be in a worse place for the healing of marital wounds: Hadleigh Corner, the apparently idyllic 'executive village' they have just moved into, turns out to be seething hotbed of what used to be called 'swinging'.

In fact, wife swapping is the least of it. Hadleigh Corner has more dark secrets - and more dangers.

Jack spends much of the opening episode fighting off women (Robson Green valiantly acting against type here), but you can be sure he will eventually succumb - and everyone will pay the price...
