Two Weeks in August: A Twisty Group Holiday Drama on BBC One
Two Weeks in August: Twisty Group Holiday Drama

Group holidays are rarely a success, but spare a thought for people-pleaser Zoe (Jessica Raine) and down-on-his-luck Dan (Damien Malony) in Two Weeks in August (9pm, BBC One). Skint and recovering from a taboo family trauma, they set off for a pricey week in Greece with their old university friends. What better way to put everyone at ease on the first night than a dodgy fish supper followed by hallucinogenic mushrooms? Leila Farzad, Dolly Wells, and Hugh Skinner also star in this twisty, trippy, sun-soaked drama.
