Sex and Chocolate (BBC-1 1997, Dawn French, Phil Daniels)

Comedy drama. Dawn French stars as Bev, the wife of a school caretaker, Ian, who’s content with her lot – a loving family and a job at the school, but just a little bit restless. Glamour suddenly enters her life in the form of former boyfriend, debonair Nicholas, a fashion designer with a nice line in romantic breaks for two in Paris: will she, won’t she?
