We thought we would try 2 of this week's new TV dramas - what a contrast!
We found the relentless pace and general 'in your face' attitude of 'Years and Years' (BBC1) exhausting and gave up after 15 minutes or so. Episode 1 of 'The Virtues' (C4), on the other hand, was quietly and devastatingly absorbing, with a screenplay that was not afraid to take its time. helped by a wonderful performance by Stephen Graham.
