Just because I give a show or movie the highest five star rating doesn’t necessarily mean I think it is perfect. But, um, in this case I do think Last Tango in Halifax is very close to perfect. The show was created and to varying degrees written by Sally Wainwright. We always seek out shows she is involved with because they don’t disappoint us. Scott and Bailey, Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack are superb examples of shows she has created. The plot seems almost stereotypical. Two oldsters who never quite connected as a couple when younger rediscover each other at an advanced age, and make a go of it. We’ve seen it all before, at least once done also almost perfectly (As Time Goes By). But we all know it isn’t the plot, but rather what you do with it that counts. The four leads in Last Tango in Halifax are superb. There is the great classic actor Derek Jacobi, who we can be forgiven for thinking of as Claudius and Cadfael; and Anne Reid, who we first met Yonkers ago in Coronation Street; Nicola Walker, who is in many shows we have enjoyed (a River, Unforgotten; and Sarah Lancashire, who we have liked in any shows (also Happy Valley) since we enjoyed her own stint on Coronation Street
