To the non-romantic, or even those that care little for social construct surrounding over-priced and over exaggerated declarations of love that come with the almost hysterical belief tied in with the convention of Wedding Season, the abuse of want and need, the sense of installing jealousy in a setting where good will should flow is enough to put some over the edge, to see marriage not as a union, but as a chance to even the score.

Audiences wait an eternity for television drama to make its way back to the Second World War espionage era and then two perfectly good ones come along in a matter of weeks. The second of these diverted away from the thrilling William Boyd penned Restless with the stunning Hayley Atwell as the heroine and focused on the months before the invasion of Poland in Spies of Warsaw with another television favourite, David Tennant, in the lead role.
