Tonight’s episode launched the six-part third series, opening with a tale from Alan about a shaggy-dog. During a Valentine’s meal, naturally. It’s when the best stories about shaggy dogs come out.

Caroline (Sarah Lancashire) was seen settling into her new life with her beloved, pregnant Kate (Nina Sosanya). Gillian, usually so unhappy, even had a date with a handsome man (played by Rupert Graves).

Heart-warming, yes, but with the sense that the thorny details are on their way.
