Summarised from The Guardian's report · Updated 25 Oct, 07:32 · Archive

ITV1 begins a six-part drama about an affair between a personal trainer and a married doctor.

Adultery is a new six-part drama on ITV1 at 9pm, created and written by Bafta winner Danny Brocklehurst, who has worked on Shameless and Brassic. The series stars Romola Garai as Beth, a bored personal trainer who is married to a man she describes as useless, and Dominic Cooper as Tom, a married doctor. The drama follows an affair between them and the fallout that ensues, with scenes promised in cars, toilets and a city farm.

Beth is motivated by the death of her best mate and a philosophy that 'attraction plus obstacle equals excitement'. Tom also happens to be the father of her son's new girlfriend, adding to the complications. While the opening episode remains relatively family-friendly, the series escalates over its six episodes.
