NEW DRAMA

Noughts + Crosses Tue, 10.40pm, BBC1 (times vary) (box set, BBC iPlayer)

The course of true love never did run smooth, and that’s especially true for Noughts + Crosses’ starcrossed lovers Sephy (Masali Baduza) and Callum (Jack Rowan).

In series one of the dystopian drama based on Malorie Blackman’s books, the childhood friends fell in love across the racial divide in an alternative London riven by tension between a white (nought) underclass and a black (cross) ruling class.
