Charismatic, sexy and funny...good things really do come in threes
In terms of watchability, a cast made up of Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty is pretty hard to beat. The trio's relatable charisma, and the residual associations of their TV roles in The Split and The Crown (where Doherty played the young Princess Anne) add mightily to the enjoyment of Mike Bartlett's play, in which a loving but romantically stultified middle-aged couple decide to invite a younger woman into their bed and their lives.

Scandi minimalism and 1970s flair make this the house of the year
There are clues outside Johan Hybschmann's Hackney house hinting that the inside is far from ordinary. Most of the street is lined with Victorian terraces. However, halfway along, on one side only, is a stretch of 1970s houses in a dark brick, built on an old bomb site. They are split level over three floors and most have an integrated garage. Not Hybschmann's.
