NEW DRAMA

Then Barbara Met Alan

Monday, 9pm, BBC2

Years and Years star Ruth Madeley leads the cast of BBC2’s powerful new fact-based drama Then Barbara Met Alan, which explores a little-known chapter of recent British history.

The one-off show opens in 1989 when comic Barbara Lisicki (Madeley) meets musician Alan Holdsworth (Arthur Hughes) at a cabaret night.
