Love in Recovery: Series 1 & 2 by Pete Jackson
Sue Johnston, John Hannah and Eddie Marsan are among the stars of this spellbinding comedy drama. Set entirely at a series of weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, these 10 episodes also feature Rebecca Front, Paul Kaye and Julia Deakin. During the course of the series we hear them get to know each other, learn to hate each other, argue, moan, laugh, fall apart, fall in love and, most importantly, tell their stories. Written and created by Pete Jackson, Love in Recovery is inspired by his own road to recovery. Duration: 3 hours 45 mins approx

Writer Pete Jackson is a recovering alcoholic and has spent time with Alcoholics Anonymous. It was there he found, as many people do, support from the unlikeliest group of disparate souls, all banded together due to one common bond. As well as offering the support he needed throughout a difficult time, AA also offered a weekly, sometimes daily, dose of hilarity, upset, heartbreak and friendship.
