At the start of Season Two, Celia seems to have kept a secret since she was fifteen years old. Meanwhile, Alan's and Julian's relationship is already struck in the opposite direction as he distance himself from those events that stir their tension. Now, Kate may make him embarrassed about Lawrence, who finds his new mother's relationship not good.
The audacity of building a show around a couple in their 70s is so refreshing in this age of demographic pandering that it probably does more to brand Last Tango in Halifax as "public television" than virtually any other attribute in the program.
There's no doubting the real key to the programme's success lies with its two main stars: Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi, who leave you enraptured with the joy of their late life love.
