The first series of the Welsh

word-of-mouth thriller ended

on a cliffhanger when Faith

Howells’ missing husband Evan

suddenly reappeared. Now it’s

18 months on, but with Evan

banged up and the dodgy

criminal gang he got mixed up

with still looming large, Faith is

in more danger than ever. But is

there hope for their marriage?

The Welsh version, Un Bore

Mercher, was shown earlier

this year, but this is the English

language version. Eve Myles

and Bradley Freegard return.

Moira kisses Nate!

After snogging Rhona a couple

of months ago, Nate’s had a

one-night stand with Tracy and

has set his sights on Amy. But now

it seems he’s got another admirer

in Moira. After she warned Amy

against going out with the hunky

farmhand, Nate wondered if it

was because Moira fancied

him... This week, when

Nate confronts her, she

of course denies it, but

it seems the lady doth

protest too much
