A Passionate Woman....description from a BBC release:Kay Mellor’s play, A Passionate Woman, on BBC One, starring Billie Piper and Sue Johnston, has been adapted into two stories. The first focuses on a mother’s affair in the Fifties and the second is set in the Eighties and looks at the consequences of that affair 30 years on.
A Passionate Woman is a very personal look at the changing role of women over the last 50 years.
Set in Leeds in the Fifties Cold War period, Billie Piper stars as Betty, a young wife and mother who reluctantly falls passionately and hopelessly in love with her charismatic Polish neighbour, Alex Crazenovski, played by Theo James.
But little does Betty know that some 30 years later, in Eighties Britain, her affair will implode on her beloved son Mark’s wedding day.

Lizzie And Sarah.....from a BBC release:
Lizzie and Sarah are two fiftysomething suburban housewives, perpetually mistreated and ignored by unloving, selfish husbands. The highlight of their otherwise dull lives is their role in an amateur dramatic society. In the aftermath of a tragic accident which causes the death of a popular local teenager, emotions run high, and following a dismal birthday lunch for Sarah, the two friends embark on a spur-of-the-moment shopping trip. As the day unfolds, they find a way to wreak their revenge.
