Can anyone help me remember what these 2 tv dramas were called?

One is about multiverse/many worlds/multiple dimensions. It’s about an author, or a writer of some sort, who isn’t very successful in our world, but somehow gets into a different dimension, where he’s very successful and rich and has an indoor swimming pool. I think this one is a one off tv drama, possibly bbc.That’s all I can remember about that one I think

And the other one was about a working class man (possibly from Yorkshire?) who meets and starts going out with a very upper class woman. She coaches him in how to appear upper class to her family and friends. I can remember a bit where she manicures and pedicures him (just a file, not gel nails or anything). There’s also a bit where he talks to her posh friends in his real accent and tells them what he really thinks of them, and they’re all shocked, but then he passes it off as a joke and pretends he’s just doing his northern bloke impression.

I’ve been trying to find out the names of these 2 for a while, so if anyone has any ideas I’d be really grateful Smile

I’ve just seen that Sam west is the son of Prunella Scales and Timothy West, who were also mentioned on this thread. I expect everyone else already knew that though!

I was wondering about Tales of the Unexpected...they often had a sinister turn.

I am remembering Sean Bean in Lady Chatterley though...very nice!

The Sean Bean & Jolie Richardson version of LCL is on the drama channel starting this weekend, Sunday I think.

Interested in this thread?

oh my god I didn't even notice that

clearly my autocorrect thinks that makes sense, it's had a sheltered life (possibly)
