Flesh and Blood is a four-part drama that follows three adult siblings – Helen, Jake and Natalie – whose lives are thrown into disarray when their recently widowed mother Vivien declares she’s fallen for a new man, retired GP Mark.

As Vivien nears her 70th birthday, her children’s suspicions are heightened when Mark begins to shift her priorities away from her family. Years of secrets, lies, rivalries and betrayals are unearthed and the happiness of Vivien’s 45-year marriage to her children’s father, Terry, is called into question.

The siblings’ large family home, their inheritance and the positive memories of their childhood are all suddenly thrown into doubt by the arrival of Mark, so the siblings endeavour to find out more about him.

Circumstances are made all the more complicated by the neighbour, Mary, who has lived next to Vivien for 40 years and who has an unhealthy attachment to the family’s unfolding drama.

Who created Flesh and Blood?

The drama is created and written by Sarah Williams, whose previous credits include The Long Song, Case Sensitive and Poppy Shakespeare.

Flesh and Blood is directed by BAFTA nominee Louise Hooper (Cheat, Vera, Cold Feet).
